El Libro Oculto (The Hidden Book) is the fourth album by Argentine metal band Rata Blanca. The album was recorded in 1993 in Spain. The album has a heavier sound than previous albums. After this album the singer Adrián Barilari and the keyboardist Hugo Bistolfi left the band. Both Barilari and Bistolfi later founded Alianza.

The song "Agord, La Bruja" is a reference to drugs without mentioning it. Actually in Spanish the word Agord in backwards means drug.
