Trinidad (Spanish pronunciation: [tɾiniˈðað]) is a municipality in the Honduran department of Santa Bárbara.

The townspeople claim to have Jewish sephardim ancestors, though the claims are unsubstantiated, it is also home of General Juan E. Paredes, who as a Commerce Secretary for Honduras signed the Paredes - Knox treaty between the United States and Honduras.
