La Trinité-des-Monts () is a parish municipality in the Canadian province of Quebec, located in the Rimouski-Neigette Regional County Municipality.
The municipality's religious name refers to the trinity in Christianity. The name was inspired by the Mission of the Holy Spirit, which gave rise to the parish of La Trinité-des-Monts and the neighbouring parish of Esprit-Saint. In fact, the post office where La Trinité-des-Monts was later organised took the name Esprit-Saint in 1938. The post office was renamed Cenellier in 1939, after a local river. It adopted its current name of La Trinité-des-Monts in 1943. These place names were chosen by the religious authorities of the Archdiocese of Rimouski. More specifically, it was Monsignor Charles-Eugène Parent, Bishop of Rimouski, who baptised the parish when he spotted the Notre Dame Mountains to the east while looking for a site to build the church of La Trinité-des-Monts.https://la-trinite-des-monts.ca/
