Ghiroda (; , as opposed to Neugiroda, now a district of Timișoara; ) is a commune in Timiș County, Romania. It is composed of two villages, Ghiroda (commune seat) and Giarmata-Vii. It is located near Timișoara, to the east. As a result of the development of the city, the commune shows characteristics of being a suburb of Timișoara.
== Location == Ghiroda is located in the center of Timiș County, a few kilometers northeast of Timișoara, with which it borders. In practice, Ghiroda is attached to Timișoara. It is bounded to the south by the Bega Canal. To the west, it connects to Timișoara through two streets that continue in the urban fabric of the municipality. == Etymology == The village's name originates from the Hungarian personal name Gyury, a diminutive form of Győrgy (equivalent to Gheorghe). However, the medieval form Gyüreg may also have Slavic roots, possibly derived from the Serbian name Đurađ or its dialectal variant Đuređ.
