Trinity Episcopal Church is a historic Episcopal church complex located at Buffalo in Erie County, New York. The oldest part of the complex was built in 1869 as the Gothic Revival style Christ Chapel; it was later redesigned in 1913. The main church was constructed in 1884 in the Victorian Gothic style and features stained glass windows designed by John LaFarge and Tiffany studios. The parish house, designed by Cram, Goodhue & Ferguson, was constructed in 1905.{{cite web | url = https://cris.parks.ny.gov/ | title = Cultural Resource Information System (CRIS)| publisher = New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation| format = Searchable database| accessdate = 2016-07-01}} Note: This includes {{cite web | url = https://cris.parks.ny.gov/Uploads/ViewDoc.aspx?mode=A&id=25031&q=false | title = National Register of Historic Places Registration Form: Trinity Episcopal Church| accessdate = 2016-07-01 |author= Virginia L.

Powers Biggs gave a concert.{{Cite journal |date=March 1, 1955 |title=Big Buffalo Organ Built by Schlicker - Is Dedicated At Trinity |url=https://www.thediapason.com/sites/diapason/files/195503TheDiapasonA.pdf |journal=The Diapason |volume=46 |issue=4 |pages=1}}
