Apokrifa (kutoka neno la Kigiriki ?π?κρυφο?, apokruphos , yaani "iliyofichika") ni jina linalotumika katika Ukristo kuanzia karne ya 5 kutajia vitabu ambavyo madhehebu husika hayavikubali katika Biblia .

Hivyo vitabu vilevile vinaweza kuwa vitakatifu kwa madhehebu kadhaa lakini si kwa mengine.

Lakini kuna vitabu vingine ambavyo vinatazamwa na Wakristo wote kuwa ni apokrifa, kwa mfano " Maisha ya Adamu na Eva ".

Maelezo ya undani zaidi yanapatikana katika makala Deuterokanoni kuhusu vitabu maarufu zaidi vinavyokubaliwa na Kanisa Katoliki na wengineo kama Neno la Mungu , lakini si na Waprotestanti wengi.
