The Secret Key (Japanese: ひみつのカギ Secret Key) is a key item available in Pokémon Platinum. It is only obtainable through a Nintendo Event. It is shaped like Rotom's head, and the key's teeth look like the prongs of an electrical plug.

The Secret Key opens up a secret room at the Galactic Eterna Building, containing five appliances necessary for Rotom to change between its six forms. Rowan comes in when the player changes Rotom's form for the first time, explaining its history.

From September 28 to November 4, 2008 and from January 16 to March 2, 2009, players of the Japanese version of Pokémon Platinum could download the Secret Key over the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. It can be given to five other players of Platinum.
