"Secret Garden" is a song by British band T'Pau, released as the lead single from their 1988 second studio album Rage. The song was written by vocalist Carol Decker and rhythm guitarist Ron Rogers. It was produced by Roy Thomas Baker.

The song was the group's sixth single to enter the UK Top 40, peaking at #18 in the UK Singles Chart, and lasting in the Top 100 for a total of seven weeks. In Ireland, it fared better and entered the Top 10, peaking at #8, lasting in the chart for three weeks, whilst in Germany it peaked at #66, lasting a total of four weeks in the chart.

In 2003, a live version of the song appeared on the T'Pau album Greatest Hits Live! and its various re-issues.

In an article in This is Cornwall, published on 23 May 2013, Decker stated "The reaction from people is very touching – Bridge of Spies meant a lot to a lot of people. We had a lot of gay fans because of the song "Secret Garden", which is about being yourself. Who knew? It's an overused phrase but some of our songs are the soundtrack of people's lives."

The single was issued on 7" and 12" vinyl, as well as CD, via Siren Records, and was marketed/distributed by Virgin Records. It was released in the UK and Europe, including countries France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, as well as Japan.

The 7" vinyl release featured the b-side "This Girl", which was taken from the Rage album. It was written by all six members of T'Pau, and produced by Baker. The sleeve notes stated "All tracks are from the forthcoming album "Rage" SRNLP 20."

For the 12" vinyl release, the same tracks were used as on the 7" vinyl release, but with one additional track; "You Never Notice Me (Live)". The song is a live version of an exclusive live only track, which was recorded at the Hammersmith Odeon on 30 March 1988. The song was written by Decker and Rogers, and was produced by Baker. In addition, a UK only special limited edition of the 12" vinyl was also issued, which came with a poster package.

The UK only CD release featured the same tracks as the 12" vinyl release, but with a fourth exclusive track; "Crying". This was a cover of the 1961 ballad written by Roy Orbison and Joe Melson that was a hit for Orbison. It was produced by Baker. The song incorrectly only listed Orbison as the sole songwriter.
