Holy Trinity Church in Yercaud, Tamil Nadu, India was built in 1834 and was rebuilt in 1853 after a damaging accident. It is an independent Church. The final verdict from a 10-year-long court case reconfirmed its independence.

The church is the resting place of Robert Bruce Foote, (1834–1912), the British archaeologist and geologist who is considered the "Father of Indian Prehistory". A memorial to him may be found there. The churchyard also has the grave of Peter Percival (1803–1882). He was a missionary, linguist and a pioneering educator in Sri Lanka and South India.
