"The Ordeal of Young Tuppy" 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 April 1930, and in Cosmopolitan in the United States that same month, both as "Tuppy Changes His Mind". The story was also included as the eleventh story in the 1930 collection Very Good, Jeeves.[1]

In the story, Tuppy Glossop falls for the athletic Miss Dalgleish, and endures a rough match of rugby football to win her over. Bertie's Aunt Dahlia wants Tuppy to lose interest in Miss Dalgleish and reunite with her daughter, Angela Travers.
