Holy Trinity Church is a Church of England parish church in the town of Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, England. It opened in 1819 and is a grade II* listed building. The church is situated just off Trinity Street, named after the church and forming part of the main A640 road from Huddersfield to Rochdale, and is just outside the town centre, in the suburb of Marsh. The parish forms part of the diocese of Leeds.

In the early 19th century the town of Huddersfield was growing rapidly as a result of the industrial revolution and the town's parish church was too small to cope. In order to address this, Holy Trinity was built between 1816 and 1819 as a chapel of ease. The new church was funded by Benjamin Haigh Allen, a local banker, and designed by the architect Thomas Taylor of Leeds. Holy Trinity became a parish church in its own right in 1857, serving Marsh and the adjoining suburbs of Edgerton and Springwood.
