The Great Plague of 1738 was an outbreak of the bubonic plague between 1738 and 1740 that affected areas of the Habsburg Empire, now in the modern nations of Romania, Hungary, Ukraine, Serbia, Croatia, Slovakia, Czechia, and Austria.
[citation needed] In February 1738, the plague hit the Banat region, having been spread there by the Imperial Army.

Timișoara's St. Mary and St. John of Nepomuk Monument is dedicated to the plague's victims.
