I'm Going to Tell You a Secret is a documentary following pop singer Madonna on her successful 2004 Re-Invention Tour, chronicling early events such as dancer auditions, rehearsals and opening night, and continuing all the way through the final show and her visit to Israel late in 2004. The film premiered commercial-free on MTV in the United States on October 21, 2005, and was released on June 20, 2006 in CD+DVD, DVD+CD, and digital download format. I'm Going to tell you a secret sold 1 million worldwide.

The film was directed by Jonas Åkerlund, whose previous credits include various music videos, commercials and the cult hit film Spun. It can be seen as the follow-up to Truth or Dare, which had been released fourteen years earlier in 1991. In both films, the backstage scenes are shown in black and white, while the live performances are filmed in color.

The documentary was nominated for a Grammy Award at the Grammy Awards of 2007 show in the category Best Long Form Music Video.
