Jeffery Page Rein Wadsworth (27 July 1911 – 21 January 1997) was a Canadian banker who served as president and chairman of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. Wadsworth joined the Canadian Bank of Commerce in Port Credit in 1928. Over the next three decades he was appointed to several managerial positions, and in 1957 was elected a director and appointed a vice-president. After the bank's merger with the Imperial Bank of Canada in 1961, he became general manager and vice-president of the new bank. In May 1963 he succeeded Neil John McKinnon to become the bank's second president. Wadsworth held the presidency until December 1964, when he became vice-chairman and transferred to Montreal. In September 1971 he was reappointed president, by which time he had become deputy chairman also. The appointment came along with the title of chief executive officer. Wadsworth ceded the presidency in December 1973, when he became chairman and chief executive. He remained chairman of the bank until December 1976.
