Holy Trinity Roman Catholic Church is a Grade II* listed Roman Catholic church building at 41 Brook Green, Hammersmith, London W6 7BL.[1]

It was built in 1851, to cater for the growing Catholic community of the area, by the architect William Wardell. The foundation stone was laid by Cardinal Wiseman. Building was made possible by the generosity of Helen Tasker, a wealthy local resident. The stained glass was the work of John Hardman, a disciple of Augustus Pugin. The spire was added later in 1862 by J. A. Hansom, better known as the inventor of the hansom cab.[1][2]

The church is also used by the Syriac Catholic Church, who hold masses here in Arabic and Aramaic on Sunday afternoons.[2]
