The Garrison Church is a heritage-listed active Anglican church building located at Argyle Street in the inner city Sydney on the edge of the suburb of Millers Point in the City of Sydney local government area of New South Wales, Australia. It was designed by Henry Ginn (1st stage), Edmund Blacket (2nd stage) and built from 1840 to 1846 by Edward Flood and George Patton. It is also known as Holy Trinity Anglican Church and Hall. The property is owned by Anglican Church Property Trust and was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.[1]

The Garrison Church is the first military church built in colonial Australia.[2] It continues as an active Anglican church, and since 1 November 2013 has operated in a joint parish with St Philip's Church,[3] part of the Diocese of Sydney.
