"Bertie Changes His Mind" is a short story by P. G. Wodehouse, and features the young gentleman Bertie Wooster and his valet Jeeves. The story was published in The Strand Magazine in the United Kingdom in August 1922, and in Cosmopolitan in the United States in the same month. The story was also included in the 1925 collection Carry On, Jeeves.[1]

It is the only Jeeves story narrated from the perspective of Jeeves.[1] In the story, Jeeves becomes concerned after Bertie starts considering living with his sister and three nieces. He arranges for Bertie to speak to an audience of young girls.

The story includes references to Bertie’s sister, Mrs. Scholfield; this is the only mention of Bertie having a sibling in the Jeeves canon.
