A Trojan planet is a planet orbiting in the Lagrangian point of a star and a massive orbiting body, a gas giant or potentially a smaller companion star.
No Trojan planets are currently known to exist, so their existence is purely theoretical. However, some of Saturn's moons have smaller Trojan moons, and Jupiter is bracketed by Trojan asteroids.
