佩勒姆·G·伍德豪斯爵士(Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse,1881年10月15日-1975年2月14日),英国幽默小说家,七十多年的写作生涯,受到无数读者的欢迎,至今他的作品还广为流传。虽然他的一生经历了社会动荡和政治运动,而且很长一段时间是在法国和美国度过,伍德豪斯作品的主要背景还是一战前英国的上流社会。这和他的个人经历有关,他生长于斯,在这里接受教育,并开始早期的写作生涯。

作为公认的英文散文大家,伍德豪斯受到很多与他同时代的和后来的现代作家的钦佩,前者如海莱尔·贝洛克 、伊夫林·沃 及吉卜林,后者如道格拉斯·亚当斯 、萨尔曼·鲁西迪 及特里·普拉切特 。肖恩·奥凯西 形象地称伍德豪斯是“英国文学表演的跳蚤”(English literature's performing flea),伍德豪斯在写给朋友Bill Townend的一系列信中,以此作为标题。

Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse, KBE (/ˈwʊdhs/; 15 October 1881 14 February 1975) was an English author and one of the most widely read humorists of the 20th century. Born in Guildford, the son of a British magistrate based in Hong Kong, Wodehouse spent happy teenage years at Dulwich College, to which he remained devoted all his life. After leaving school he was employed by a bank but disliked the work and turned to writing in his spare time. His early novels were mostly school stories, but he later switched to comic fiction, creating several regular characters who became familiar to the public over the years. They include the feather-brained Bertie Wooster and his sagacious valet, Jeeves; the immaculate and loquacious Psmith; the feeble-minded Lord Emsworth and the Blandings Castle set; the loquacious Oldest Member, with stories about golf; and the equally loquacious Mr Mulliner, with tall tales on subjects ranging from bibulous bishops to megalomaniac movie moguls.
