The Man Upstairs is a collection of short stories by P. G. Wodehouse, first published in the United Kingdom on 23 January 1914 by Methuen & Co., London. Most of the stories had previously appeared in magazines, generally Strand Magazine in the UK and Cosmopolitan or Collier's Weekly in the United States. Although the book was not published in the U.S., many of the stories were eventually made available to U.S. readers in The Uncollected Wodehouse (1976) and The Swoop! and Other Stories (1979)
It is a miscellaneous collection, not featuring any of Wodehouse's regular characters; most of the stories concern love and romance.

“Let a man learn to look for the permanent in the mutable and fleeting; let him learn to bear the disappearance of things he was wont to reverence; without losing his reverence; let him learn that he is here, not to work, but to be worked upon; and that, though abyss open under abyss, and opinion displace opinion, all are at last contained in the Eternal Cause.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“After a while
it walks over and taps
on the upstairs window with a bunch
of red berries. Will he wake?”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
