Valentine Max "Val" Jeffery AFSM OAM (born 6 December 1934) is a former 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. He is 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). At the age of 81, he is the oldest person to have sat in the Assembly, and did not recontest his seat at the 2016 election held in October, with his term lasting just over two weeks and six assembly sittings.
