The Church of the Holy Trinity, also called the Dominican Church, stands at 12 Stolarska Street in the Old Town of Kraków. It is a Gothic Roman Catholic church that serves the Order of Preachers and adjoins a Dominican monastery. The history of the church is dated from its consecration in 1223.

Among its features are the main nave, a choir with a pipe organ, the main altar, the Chapel of Saint Rose of Lima and the western cloister of the monastery.

Several notable figures are buried here, among them Saint Hyacinth of Poland, the Polish monarch Leszek II the Black, the Renaissance humanist Filippo Buonaccorsi and Jan Zygmunt Skrzynecki. The church is part of the Historic Centre of Kraków, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1978, and a Historic Monument of Poland since 1994.
