'''Puddleglum''' is a fictional character in the children's fantasy series ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia]]'' by [[C. S. Lewis]]. Puddleglum appears as a principal character in ''[[The Silver Chair]]'', and is mentioned briefly at the end of ''[[The Last Battle]]''. Puddleglum is a "Marsh-wiggle", a species invented by Lewis which appears only in this book, and the only Marsh-wiggle given a name or any lines of dialogue. He is gloomy and pessimistic and described by other characters as a "wet blanket", although by his account other Marsh-wiggles are gloomier still.

Lewis said that his gardener [[Fred Paxford]] served as a model for Puddleglum.<ref>{{Harvard citation|Sammons|1979|pp=154}}</ref>
