Boldur (; ; ) is a commune in Timiș County, Romania. It is composed of four villages: Boldur (commune seat), Jabăr, Ohaba-Forgaci, and Sinersig.
== History == The first recorded mention of Boldur dates from 1290, being mentioned in a Hungarian diploma with the name Bulder. In the Middle Ages the name changed, but kept the same root: Boudor (1368), Boldur (1371), Boldor (1416), Boldur (1597), etc. At the end of the 16th century, it was part of the commune of Belinț and belonged to Transylvania. From 1690 to 1700 it is definitely called Boldur. Around 1739 there were colonizations with Romanians from Oltenia (bufeni), against the background of the Austro-Turkish War, which caused the emigration of many families to Banat. In the past, the hearth of the village was on the site of the former cemetery. After the settlement of Oltenians here, Boldur was divided into two areas: that of the frătuți (natives) and that of the bufeni (Oltenians), from which present-day Boldur resulted.
