Trimley St. Mary is a parish and village between Felixstowe and Ipswich in Suffolk, England. Its eastern border is either the Port of Felixstowe Road bridge or Spriteshall Lane. History would dictate that Spriteshall lane is the more likely border.

The village, and its neighbour Trimley St. Martin, are famous for their adjacent churches which were built as the result of a historical family feud[citation needed] St. Mary's church is the southerly church (at grid reference TM 276 369).

Trimley railway station serves the village on the Felixstowe Branch Line.
