The Trinity Session is a 1988 album by Cowboy Junkies, their second album.

The album was recorded at Toronto, Ontario's Church of the Holy Trinity on November 27, 1987. The album includes a mixture of original material by the band and covers of classic pop, rock and country songs, including the band's most successful single, "Sweet Jane", an almost note-for-note copy of the version on Velvet Underground's 1969 Live album. Also included is "Blue Moon Revisited (Song for Elvis)", which is both a cover and an original, combining a new song by the band with the pop standard "Blue Moon".

The album was released in early 1988 on Latent Records in Canada, and rereleased worldwide later in the year on RCA Records. "Working on a Building" and "Blue Moon Revisited (Song for Elvis)" did not appear on the Latent Records release. "Blue Moon Revisited" was originally released on It Came from Canada, Vol. 4, a compilation of Canadian independent bands.
