Hidden Agenda is a computer strategy game with menu-driven interface and early, black and white graphics whose scenario was designed and written in 1988 by Jim Gasperini, with input from project consultant Eric Ehrmann. While the scenario was implemented in text form, the game made use of an innovative graphical interface, with naturalistic characters, settings, and digital video interstitials. The narrative simulation system was designed and implemented by Greg Guerin and Ron Martinez (who also produced the game). Ron Martinez also designed and implemented the front end user experience, in the process inventing one of the first implementations of digital video with frames grabbed from a hacked four-head VCR. The game was intended to simulate the conditions of a post-revolutionary Central American country. It is considered a forerunner of the Games for Change movement, alongside other early Macintosh games including Chris Crawford's Balance of Power.

The game is set in the fictional country Chimerica which has been recently liberated from the rule of the corrupt dictator Farsante and his ruling clique. The player takes the part of the newly elected president of Chimerica.

Hidden Agenda (1990), directed by Ken Loach, is a political thriller about British state terrorism during the Northern Irish Troubles that depicts the fictional assassination of an American civil rights lawyer.

"Hidden Agenda" is a song recorded by English singer Craig David. It was released on 20 January 2003 as the second single from his second studio album Slicker Than Your Average (2002). The song became his eighth top ten hit in the United Kingdom (including his Artful Dodger collaborations), peaking at number ten and spending six weeks inside the UK top 75. After the change in sound between his debut album Born to Do It and " What's Your Flava?", the lead single from Slicker Than Your Average, "Hidden Agenda" returned David to the sound for which he was known for in his worldwide hits such as " 7 Days" and " Walking Away" and re-united him with Artful Dodger record producer Mark Hill.

The single version contains the short interlude at the end of "Fast Cars".

Hidden Agenda is a 2001 Canadian action film directed by Marc S. Grenier and starring Dolph Lundgren.
