Trincia II Trinci was lord of Foligno, in central Italy, from 1353; he was the son of Ugolino Novello Trinci.

His initial titles were gonfaloniere del popolo and capitano del popolo, but was recognized as apostolic vicar. He was also vicar of Bevagna starting from 1371, as well as Papal commander and gonfaloniere of the Duchy of Spoleto. He married Giacoma d'Este, daughter of Niccolò I d'Este, lord of Ferrara.

He was assassinated at Foligno on 18 September 1377 during a Ghibelline uprising, from which a short-lived republic arose. One of his sons, Ugolino, was later lord of Foligno.
