Trinity Church is an historic church at 7 Providence Road in Brooklyn, Connecticut.

Much of the money and effort to build the church came from Anglican churchman Godfrey Malbone, as a response to efforts to build a Congregational meetinghouse. Under Malbone's supervision, Trinity Church was finished in April 1771, ahead of the Congregational church. It is the oldest surviving Anglican church building in Connecticut. It is modeled on churches designed by Peter Harrison, and was built in part with the labor of slaves supplied by Malbone.

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in October 1970.
