Straža (Serbian Cyrillic: Стража; Romanian: Straja; Hungarian: Temesőr) is a village in Serbia.

In Serbian, the village is known as Straža (Стража), in Romanian as Straja, in Hungarian as Strázsa (later Temesőr), and in German as Lagerdorf.

Straža was established in the winter of 1716–17 by the Austrian imperial army as a base for soldiers sent to protect the town of Palanka from advancing Ottoman troops.

[citation needed] By 1734, the settlement already had its own post office and a German mill was built near the Karaš River.

The Eastern Orthodox Church in Straža was originally built in 1854 but was not in use until 1856 when the priest Stefan Popović was present.
