Secret Agent is a studio album by Chick Corea, recorded and released in 1978. It is a musically diverse release that features Corea’s long-standing collaborators Joe Farrell on reeds and woodwinds, percussionist Airto, and vocalist Gayle Moran (Corea’s wife). Al Jarreau sings “Hot News Blues”, and a four piece brass section and string quartet also appear.

This album is one of three that Corea released in 1978, along with The Mad Hatter and Friends in what was called an "almost impossibly active year".[1] 1978 also featured the release of live albums An Evening with Herbie Hancock & Chick Corea: In Concert and RTF Live: The Complete Concert (4LP Box Set) with Return to Forever.
