A Damsel in Distress is a novel by P. G. Wodehouse, first published in the U.S. on October 4, 1919 , and in the U.K. October 1919. It had previously been serialized in The Saturday Evening Post, between May and June that year.

Golf-loving American composer George Bevan falls in love with a mysterious young lady who takes refuge in his taxicab one day; when he tracks her down to a romantic rural manor, mistaken identity leads to all manner of brouhaha...

The story was made into a silent, black-and-white movie in 1919. In 1928 a dramatization by Ian Hay was staged, with Hay, Wodehouse and A. A. Milne investing in the production, about which Wodehouse said "I don't think we shall lose our money, as Ian has done an awfully good job.".
