Trinity Church, also known as Trinity Episcopal Church, is an historic Episcopal church in Warsaw, Wyoming County, New York. The Carpenter Gothic style frame church was built in 1853-1854 and closely follows the plan and elevations of a country church published by Richard Upjohn (1802–1878) in his book Upjohn's Rural Architecture (1852).[2] Upjohn's connection with the design of the church has been confirmed by a letter dated December 30, 1853.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]

Due to years of deterioration, the steeple was removed in 2016.[4]
