The College of the Holy and Undivided Trinity in the University of Oxford, of the foundation of Sir Thomas Pope (Knight), o simplemente Trinity College, es uno de los colleges que constituyen la Universidad de Oxford en Inglaterra. Se encuentra en Broad Street puerta con puerta con el Balliol College y Blackwells, en frente de Turf Street. Está rodeado por una verja de hierro en vez de por un muro, dándole al college una apariencia más accesible con respecto a los demás colleges de Oxford. El college ocupa un sitio bastante grande, que incluye cuatro grandes patios, y es particularmente conocido por sus atractivos jardines, que incluyen una pequeña zona de bosque. A pesar del tamaño el college es relativamente pequeño en cuanto a número de estudiantes, con unos 300. A la vez que son bastante atractivos, los edificios del Trinity también tienen características destacables. En la cima de la Torre oeste se levantan cuatro estatuas femeninas que representan a la Astronomía, la Geometría, la Medicina y la Teología. La capilla, aunque es relativamente pequeña comparada con las de otros colleges, es bastante particular, siendo la primera capilla que fue diseñada por completa en estilo neoclásico. Se dice que el famoso arquitecto Christopher Wren asistió al diseño. Wren solo hizo unos cuantos ajustes a los planos finales, estos ajustes fueron el cambio de las urnas del tejado por antorchas la eterna sed de conocimiento. En 2006 el Trinity College tuvo un presupuesto estimado de 68 millones de libras esterlinas.
