Valentine Max Jeffery AFSM OAM (6 December 1934 – 18 July 2017) was an Australian politician.

Jeffery was elected to the Australian Capital Territory Legislative Assembly as a Liberal member for Brindabella on 28 July 2016, following a countback resulting from Brendan Smyth's resignation.[1] He was the owner of the Tharwa general store, and had run as a Liberal candidate at the 2012 ACT election (and previously at the 2008 election for The Community Alliance Party).[2] At the age of 81, he is the oldest person to have sat in the Assembly, and did not re-contest his seat at the 2016 election held in October, with his term lasting just over two weeks and six assembly sittings.[3] He died on 18 July 2017 at the age of 82.[4][5]
