Prodavnica tajni (trans. The Secrets Shop) is the fourth studio album from Serbian and former Yugoslav rock band Bajaga i Instruktori, released in 1988.

The album was polled in 1998 as the 79th on the list of 100 greatest Yugoslav rock and pop albums in the book YU 100: najbolji albumi jugoslovenske rok i pop muzike (YU 100: The Best albums of Yugoslav pop and rock music).

In 2008, the band's frontman Momčilo Bajagić stated that he worked on the songs during his vacation in Thailand, during the band's Soviet Union tour, and in Belgrade.Prodavnica tajni was recorded in Radio Novi Sad studios, because, as Bajagić stated, the pressure of journalists was too big in Bajaga i Instruktori homecity Belgrade.

The album was named after Dino Buzzati book La boutique del mistero. Bajagić stated that he liked the book, but that the songs had no connection with it.

Prodavnica tajni marked a slight stylistic change in the band's sound: the songs were simpler, without brass instruments, frequent on the band's previous releases, based on acoustic guitars and keyboards, and the songs "Plavi safir", "Vesela pesma", "Život je nekad siv, nekad žut" and "Ruski voz" featured folk music elements.

The album was well received by the fans, with virtually every song on the album becoming a hit. It was sold in more than 700,000 copies.

The album was polled in 1998 as the 79th on the list of 100 greatest Yugoslav rock and pop albums in the book YU 100: najbolji albumi jugoslovenske rok i pop muzike (YU 100: The Best albums of Yugoslav pop and rock music).
