Trinity Catholic College is a Catholic institution located in New South Wales, Australia. The college, separated into two campuses, is situated in Regent's Park and Auburn. It is a co-educational secondary college providing Catholic education for students in Years 7-12 in the Auburn, Berala, Regent's Park, Sefton, Homebush West and Lidcombe region.

Trinity Catholic College was founded in 1995 from an amalgamation of three schools: Benedict College, Auburn, St John's Girls' High, Auburn and St Peter Chanel Girls' High, Regents Park. The College is located on two campuses. The Regents Park campus offers places to students in Years 7 and 8, while the Auburn campus is for students in Years 9 to 12.

These schools had a tradition of Catholic education. The Sisters of Charity, the first Religious Sisters to work in Australia, began a school at Auburn in 1893, which became St John's Regional College for Girls. The inspiration of Blessed Mary MacKillop was handed down in St Peter Chanel Girls' High at Regents Park, founded in 1953 by the Sisters of St Joseph. The tradition of the Marist Brothers was established in 1942 with the foundation of a boys' school at Auburn which eventually became the senior Secondary school of the district, Benedict College.
