Gertrude's Secrets was a 1986 children's computer game by The Learning Company. The goal of the game was to solve puzzles and find secrets.

The game featured rooms filled with puzzles to be solved by arranging objects by shape and colour. It was played by dragging Gertrude, a goose, into one of various rooms. Gertrude then brought various shapes into the rooms which had to be arranged appropriately. Upon completion of the puzzle, Gertrude awarded the player with a prize. The game also included a noisy bird, and a room for editing shapes.

The game was available for DOS, Commodore 64 and the Apple II and featured a limited palette of colors and simple shapes.
