Holy Trinity Church is an Anglican church on North Terrace, in the city of Adelaide, South Australia. It was the first church built in Adelaide shortly after British settlement. Trinity is the largest Anglican church in South Australia with over 1200 people attending each Sunday.

Today it is an evangelical and conservative Anglican church with a large congregation. Its main campus is adjacent to the University of South Australia (Uni SA), City West campus. Through its involvement with the Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students on tertiary campuses it also has links to the Evangelical Union [1] at Adelaide University and the Uni SA City campuses.

Although it has strong associations with the Sydney Diocese and recruits some staff from Moore Theological College in Sydney, Trinity is part of the Adelaide Diocese and has an increasing number of locally trained staff.

Holy Trinity has planted two daughter churches: Trinity Hills, in the Adelaide Hills and Trinity Bay, in the Adelaide sea-side suburb of Hove.
