"Secret Land" is a 1988 song recorded by the German singer Sandra Cretu. It was released as a second single from her third album Into a Secret Land.

"Secret Land" was a successful song in Israel, where it topped the chart, and was a top ten hit in Germany (#7), South Africa (#8) and Switzerland (#9). It reached the top 20 in Sweden (#16) and Austria (#17).

Curiously, the single didn't have received a great success in France, where it peaked only at #26, whereas the previous Sandra's singles were generally well received in this country.
