Reginald Jeeves is a fictional character, created by P. G. Wodehouse. More commonly referred to as Jeeves, he is the quintessential gentleman's personal gentleman or valet. (A valet is a servant who deals with clothes and does some 'menial' tasks). Jeeves is mainly the servant to Bertie Wooster, although he has had other employers. Indeed he has also been a butler. Jeeves's talent is to get Wooster out of tricky situations, usually out of engagements which he finds himself in (to, for example, Madeline Bassett). He is also a member of the Junior Ganymede Club (Ganymede was the cup-bearer for Jupiter), a club for butlers and valets, where he has to write down all the wrongdoings of Bertie Wooster. It is from this book that he found out about Spode and Eulalie Stores.

He was played in the 1990s UK series by Stephen Fry.

He inspired the search website Ask Jeeves.
