Trinity Bay State High School is a co-educational high school in Manunda, Queensland, Australia. In 2022, it had an enrolment of 1930 students across year levels 7 to 12. The school draws from the surrounding “three M” suburbs of Cairns (Manoora, Manunda and Mooroobool), in addition to populations in surrounding mortgage belt suburbs. The student population reflects the multicultural nature of the greater city of Cairns, with 48% of students speaking a language other than English at home. Approximately 35% of students identify themselves as being Indigenous.

The school's motto was formerly "Endeavour", named after the ship on which Captain Cook sailed into Trinity Bay. This was also the name of an incentive scheme at the school, which encouraged the students to set themselves goals and endeavour to achieve them. The current motto is "Academic, Innovative, Caring".

Trinity Bay SHS has a Clontarf academy department on school grounds, helping to engage young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men in their schooling community and employment.
