A valet or gentleman's gentleman is a man's male servant. The valet performs personal chores such as maintaining his employer's clothes, running a bath and perhaps shaving his employer.

In a great house, the master of the house has his own valet but in a smaller residence the butler may double as his employer's valet. In a bachelor's residence, the valet may perform light housekeeping chores as well.
