Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse, KBE (15.10. 1881 – 14.2. 1975) (IPA: [wʊd.haʊs]) bio je britanski humoristički pisac koji uživao enorman uspjeh više od sedamdeset godina. Wodehouse se smatrao majstorom engleske proze, koga su cijenili suvremenici Hilaire Belloc, Evelyn Waugh i Rudyard Kipling ali i današnji pisci kao Douglas Adams, Salman Rushdie, Christopher Hitchens i Terry Pratchett. Sean O'Casey ga je nazvao "buhom - izvošačem engleske književnosti", za koju je sam Wodehouse rekao da "misli da je kompliment", i koju je iskoristio kao naziv zbirke svojih pisama prijatelju Billu Townendu.

Danas je najpoznatiji kao autor priča i romana o Jeevesu i Blandings Castleu, ali je također bio nadaren dramatičar i libretist koji je napisao 15 drama i 250 tekstova pjesama korištenih u preko 30 muzičkih komedija. Surađivao je s Coleom Porterom na mjuziklu Anything Goes isto kao is Jeromeom Kernom i Guyem Bolton. Napisao je tekst za hit-pjesmu "Bill" u Show Boatu te surađivao s Rudolphom Frimlom u muzičkoj verziji Tri mušketira.
