Ținutul Timiș was one of the ten Romanian ținuturi ("lands"), founded in 1938 after King Carol II initiated an institutional reform by modifying the 1923 Constitution and the law of territorial administration. It comprised the Romanian Banat and parts of Transylvania, and was named after the Timiș River; its capital was the city of Timișoara. Ținutul Timiș ceased to exist following the territorial losses of Romania to the Axis powers and the king's abdication in 1940.

Coat of arms

The coat of arms consists of five bars, three of gules and two of azure, representing the former five counties (județe) of Greater Romania (of the total 71) that were included in the ținut. Over the bars is a sable raven facing dexter, holding in its beak a sable ring, recalling a legend regarding John Hunyadi's son and his mother's ring (events linked to the city of Hunedoara).
