The [[Master (college)|Master]] of [[Trinity College, Cambridge|Trinity College]] oversees the general operation of the college within the [[University of Cambridge]]. The role is officially appointmented by the [[Monarchy of the United Kingdom|monarch]] at the recommendation of the college, and involves presiding over meetings of the college council and its governing body, although the executive powers of the master are limited.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |title=The Master of Trinity |url=https://www.trin.cam.ac.uk/fellows/master/ |access-date=2024-05-08 |website=Trinity College Cambridge |language=en-GB}}</ref> In addition, the master supports relations with students and [[List of alumni of Trinity College, Cambridge|alumni]] of the college, and serves as an ambassador for its global development activity.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web |last=fionaholland |date=2018-06-28 |title=Applications invited for the next Master of Trinity |url=https://www.trin.cam.ac.uk/news/applications-invited-for-the-next-master-of-trinity/ |access-date=2024-05-08 |website=Trinity College Cambridge |language=en-GB}}</ref> |

In 1546, Trinity College was founded by [[Henry VIII]], merging the colleges of [[Michaelhouse, Cambridge|Michaelhouse]] and [[King's Hall, Cambridge|King's Hall]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Historical Overview |url=https://www.trin.cam.ac.uk/about/historical-overview/ |access-date=2024-05-08 |website=Trinity College Cambridge |language=en-GB}}</ref> [[John Redman (Trinity College)|John Redman]], then Warden of King's Hall, was thus appointed first Master of Trinity College, and there has always been a master of the college since. For much of the past, the master was required to hold a degree from the [[University of Cambridge]], and was usually a member of Trinity College. The office of the master could be held until the age of seventy, although this could be extended to seventy-five, by decree of the [[Oxbridge Fellow|fellowship]].<ref name=":2" /> |

Currently, the master holds office for a fixed term of up to eight years. There is no longer a requirement to have studied at Trinity College, or the University of Cambridge. Recent masters have usually been distinguished academics. The current master, [[Dame Sally Davies]], was appointed on 8 February 2019. She assumed the role during a ceremony on 8 October of that year, becoming the 39th Master of Trinity College, and the first woman to hold the position.<ref name="Master GOV">{{cite web |date=8 February 2019 |title=Master of Trinity College, Cambridge: Professor Dame Sally Davies |url=https://www.gov.uk/government/news/master-of-trinity-college-cambridge-professor-dame-sally-davies |access-date=13 February 2019 |website=GOV.UK |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{cite web |title=Dame Sally installed as Master |url=https://www.trin.cam.ac.uk/news/dame-sally-installed-as-master/ |website=Trinity College |publisher=University of Cambridge |access-date=10 October 2019 |date=8 October 2019}}</ref> There have been 40 appointments to the position; [[William Bill]] was appointed master twice, in 1551 and 1558.<ref>{{Cite web |last=fionaholland |date=2019-02-08 |title=Professor Dame Sally Davies appointed Master of Trinity |url=https://www.trin.cam.ac.uk/news/new-master/ |access-date=2024-05-07 |website=Trinity College Cambridge |language=en-GB}}</ref> The title is always referred to as the ''master'', regardless of whether the incumbent is male or female.<ref name=":3" /> The college council also includes a vice-master role, currently held by Louise Merrett.<ref>{{Cite web |last=dev.login |date=2022-02-10 |title=Louise Merrett elected as the Vice-Master of Trinity College, Cambridge |url=https://www.fountaincourt.co.uk/2022/02/louise-merrett-elected-as-the-vice-master-of-trinity-college-cambridge/ |access-date=2024-05-08 |website=Fountain Court Chambers |language=en-GB}}</ref> |

The Master of Trinity College resides in the Master's Lodge, located directly opposite the main gate in [[Trinity Great Court|Great Court]]. It was originally built in 1554, and is a [[Grade I listed]] building. The entrance hall has 16th century panelling, and the drawing room has a late 15th century plaster ceiling. The [[façade]] of the building, facing Great Court, was renovated between 1841 and 1843 by [[Anthony Salvin]]. In 1892, the architect [[Arthur Blomfield]] expanded the west wing of the lodge with additional rooms for private accomodation of the master, which freed some of the historic rooms for public use.<ref>{{NHLE|num=1106371|desc=Trinity College: The Buildings surrounding Great Court, Nevile's Court and New Court, and including King's Hostel|grade=I|access-date=8 May 2024}}</ref> The Master's Lodge is also the official royal residence when visiting the university.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Great Court, Trinity College, University of Cambridge (albumen photograph) |url=https://victorianweb.org/art/architecture/cambridge/19.html |access-date=2024-05-08 |website=victorianweb.org}}</ref> It includes a [[state bedroom]] that was refurbished for the 1843 visit of [[Queen Victoria]] and [[Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha|Prince Albert]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Williams |first=Robert |date=1976 |title=A Cambridge Family of Furniture Makers and the Furnishing of the Master's Lodge Trinity College, Cambridge, 1795-—1820 |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/23404079 |journal=Furniture History |volume=12 |page=78 |issn=0016-3058}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last=Williams |first=Robert |date=1976 |title=A Cambridge Family of Furniture Makers and the Furnishing of the Master's Lodge Trinity College, Cambridge, 1795-—1820 |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/23404079 |journal=Furniture History |volume=12 |pages=64–85 |issn=0016-3058}}</ref> |

Several masters of the college contributed to the development of its buildings throughout history. [[Thomas Nevile]], master of the college from 1593, remodelled the majority of the college buildings. He demolished several buildings to clear space for Great Court, which is now reputedly the largest enclosed [[courtyard]] in [[Europe]].<ref>{{cite book |author=Stephen Brewer, Donald Olson |title=Best Day Trips from London: 25 Great Escapes by Train, Bus Or Car |publisher=Frommer's |year=2006 |isbn=0-470-04453-5 |page=56}}</ref> Upon his death, he bequeathed a sum of money which entirely paid for the construction of [[Nevile's Court, Trinity College, Cambridge|Nevile's Court]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Stourton |first=Edward |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=h_CTuAAACAAJ |title=Trinity: A Portrait |last2=Lonsdale |first2=John |date=2011 |publisher=Third Millenium Pub |isbn=978-1-906507-31-2 |language=en}}</ref> In the late 17th century, Nevile's Court was further developed by [[Christopher Wren]] under the instruction of the master of the college, [[Isaac Barrow]], forming the [[Wren Library]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=McKitterick |first=David |url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=PNTgAAAAMAAJ&redir_esc=y |title=The Making of the Wren Library: Trinity College, Cambridge |date=1995-07-27 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=978-0-521-44305-0 |language=en}}</ref> In the 1860s, [[William Whewell]] paid for the construction of [[Trinity College, Cambridge#Other courts|Whewhell's Court]], two [[neo-Gothic]] courts located on the opposite side of [[Trinity Street, Cambridge|Trinity Street]].<ref>{{NHLE|num=1331806|desc=Whewell's Court, Trinity College|grade=II|access-date=8 May 2024}}</ref> |
