The Secret Memoir of the Missionary (邪宗門伝来秘史) is a horror short story by Hirofumi Tanaka. It was originally planned as the first part of a much longer novel, however this project was abandoned when the publisher rejected Tanaka's proposal.

It was translated into English by Daniel Day when the collection was published by Kurodahan Press in 2006.
