Trinity (Jèrriais: La Trinneté) is one of the twelve parishes of Jersey in the Channel Islands. It is north of St Helier. It has a population of 3,156. The parish covers 6,975 vergées. Les Platons in the north of the parish is the highest point in Jersey. The parish borders St John, St Helier, St Saviour and St Martin.

Trinity is an agricultural, rural parish, with only 16% of the parish being built-up, and 61% dedicated to cultivation.[1] The population is generally spread out across the whole parish, with a loosely defined village towards the north of the parish. The parish's main bay is Bouley Bay, a short distance from the village. A section of Rozel Bay is also shared with neighbouring St Martin. It is home to the States Farm, Jersey Zoo, the Royal Jersey Agricultural and Horticultural Society Showground, and the Pallot Heritage Steam Museum.

The parish church is dedicated to the Holy Trinity, the only island parish church not dedicated to a saint. The coat of arms of the Parish of Trinity shows the Shield of the Trinity diagram.
