Reginald Jeeves is a fictional character in comedic short stories and novels by English author P.G. Wodehouse. Jeeves is the highly intelligent and competent manservant (primarily a valet, but doubling as a butler on rare occasions) of a wealthy and idle young Londoner named Bertie Wooster. First appearing in print in "Extricating Young Gussie" (1915), Jeeves continued to feature in Wodehouse's work until his last completed novel Aunts Aren't Gentlemen (1974), a span of 59 years. The name "Jeeves" has become a generic synonym for manservant.

Jeeves and Wooster have appeared on stage, film, and television on multiple occasions, including the 1975 musical play Jeeves, later rewritten as By Jeeves in 1996.

Reginald Jeeves in "The Great White Way"

Jeeves was a Webberite champion in the Sondheim-Webber battle. He teamed with a Starlight Express train and the Phantom of the Opera in the assault on the Sondheads' New York apartment building. After the train rammed into a wall and started a fire, Jeeves charged up the stairs and knocked down John Wilkes Booth. Sweeney Todd was waiting for Jeeves, and slit his throat with a razor. Shortly after, the Phantom killed Todd by dropping an elevator car on him.
