"Uncle Dynamite" is a comic novel by British author P.G. Wodehouse, first published in the United States on October 24, 1948, and in the United Kingdom on November 19, 1948. It is the second novel featuring the character Uncle Fred, whose real name is Frederick Altamont Cornwallis Twistleton, 5th Earl of Ickenham.

The story follows Uncle Fred as he attempts to help his nephew Pongo Twistleton, who is in love with Sally Painter. However, complications arise when Sally's estranged husband, Bill Oakshott, reappears. The situation becomes even more tangled when the imperious Sir Aylmer Bostock, a wealthy widow named Hermione Brimble, and a suspicious butler named Horace enter the mix.

Like many of Wodehouse's novels, "Uncle Dynamite" features a blend of humor, wit, and farcical situations. The story is set in and around Ashenden Manor, owned by Sir Aylmer Bostock. It features the author's signature elements of mistaken identity, romantic entanglements, and the intricate schemes Uncle Fred devises to ensure the happiness of his loved ones.
