Santísima Trinidad was a galleon destined for merchant shipping between the Philippines and México. Launched in 1751, she was one of the largest Manila galleons built. Officially named Santísima Trinidad y Nuestra Señora del Buen Fin, and familiarly known as The Mighty (Spanish: El Poderoso), she is not to be confused with the ship-of-the-line the Nuestra Señora de la Santísima Trinidad, the largest warship in the world when launched in 1759.
