Variaș (; ; ) is a commune in Timiș County, Romania. It is composed of three villages: Gelu, Sânpetru Mic and Variaș (commune seat).

== Etymology == The name of the locality comes from varjú, which in Hungarian means "crow". The name Varjas is probably related to the heraldic element of a departed noble family.
