Jeffrey (1995) is an American gay comedy movie directed by Christopher Ashley. It is based on a play by Paul Rudnick, who also wrote the screenplay.

The story takes place during the height of the AIDS epidemic and revolves around the title character (Steven Weber), a gay man who has sworn off sex because of it. Almost immediatley thereafter he meets Steve (Michael T. Weiss), a hunky, charming but HIV+ man. He then experiences an emotional conflict as he must face his fear in order to accept love. The movie features cameos by Sigourney Weaver, Kathy Najimy and Christine Baranski as the socialite hostess of a fundraiser that (in Jeffrey's imagination) turns into a cater-waiter hoedown orgy. It co-stars Patrick Stewart as an elderly gay decorator whose partner dies of AIDS complications.

Notably the producers of the film were some of the first to utilize the internet as a form of promotions. There was a rudimentary web site established with a "Jeffrey Calling Card Sweepstakes". The grande prize winner recieves a variety of memorabilia including a special calling card that, when reloaded with minutes, benefitted AMFAR.
