The following is a complete list of books by P. G. Wodehouse as they were originally published.

Many of Wodehouse's short stories appeared first in magazines and were later published in collections, some of which include tales from several of his series: Lord Emsworth and Others, for example, contains stories about Blandings Castle, the Oldest Member, Mr Mulliner, and Freddie Widgeon . As a consequence, precise classification of his works into one series or another is impossible; some of the compilations below may overlap between series, causing some books to be listed more than once.

For a complete list of Wodehouse's short stories, see List of short stories by P. G. Wodehouse .
