Apokrifa

Apokrifa (kutoka neno la Kigiriki ἀπόκρυφος, apókruphos, yaani "iliyofichika") ni jina linalotumika katika Ukristo 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.
