In this paper, we consider a trilinear weighted Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality as follows:
$ \left|\displaystyle {\int}_{\mathbb{R}^n}\displaystyle {\int}_{\mathbb{R}^n}\displaystyle {\int}_{\mathbb{R}^n}\frac{\prod\nolimits_{i = 1}^3f_i(x_i)|x_i|^{-\alpha_{ii}}} {\prod\nolimits_{1\leqslant j<k\leqslant 3}|x_j - x_k|^{\alpha_{jk}}}dx_1dx_2dx_3\right|\leqslant C\|f_1\|_{p_1}\|f_2\|_{p_2}\|f_3\|_{p_3}, $
which can be regarded as the natural trilinear form of the Stein-Weiss inequality. For $1\leqslant p_1, p_2, p_3\leqslant\infty$, we systematically establish the trilinear Stein-Weiss inequality. In particular, when $1 < p_1, p_2, p_3 < \infty$, by means of appropriate space decomposition, we give the necessary and sufficient conditions to characterize the trilinear Stein-Weiss inequality.
