Trinity (French: La Trinité, Jèrriais: La Trinneté) is one of the twelve parishes of Jersey in the Channel Islands. It is in the north east of the island.
Trinity has the reputation of being the most rural of Jersey's parishes, being the third-largest parish by surface area with the third-smallest population. The parish covers 6,817 vergées (12.3 km²). It is home to the headquarters of the Royal Jersey Agricultural and Horticultural Society at the Royal Jersey Showground, the States Farm and Jersey Zoo (now officially named Durrell Wildlife) at Les Augrès Manor.
The coat of arms of the Parish of Trinity shows the Shield of the Trinity diagram.
The Parish church, with its distinctive white pyramidal spire, is a notable landmark.
The Le Vesconte memorial (erected 1910) takes the form of an obelisk at a crossroads commemorating Philippe Le Vesconte (21 December 1837 - 21 August 1909) who was 10 times elected Constable between 1868–1877 and 1890-1909.
Among prominent natives of the parish (les Trinnetais) is Sir Arthur de la Mare (1914–1994), a retired ambassador and diplomat in Japan, Thailand and Singapore, who wrote Jèrriais literature in the Trinity dialect.
