Plosca is a commune in Teleorman County, Muntenia, Romania. It is composed of a single village, Plosca.

Name

The name is probably derived from a container used for water and beverages (ploscă is the Romanian word for canteen or bota bag).

In 1943, the three British SOE members of Operation Autonomous were arrested near Plosca by the Romanian Gendarmerie.
