Buttons (Zips) is the name of a character in the Cinderella pantomime, a male servant of the household who helps Cinderella and loves her, and who is liked and trusted but not loved by her.

The character first appeared in 1860 at the Strand Theatre, London in a version of the story derived from the opera La Cenerentola by Rossini. Rossini includes a character Dandini as assistant to the Prince, which was also included, and a complementary character for Cinderella, called Buttoni was added for the pantomime at this time. 'Buttons' was at that time a name for a young male servant or pageboy commonly having gilt buttons down the front of his jacket. For the updated TiBB 2020 version of the pantomime, "Buttons" was given the more modern name "Zips", and a corresponding change of wardrobe.

While the character introduces a note of pathos in his unrequited love for Cinderella, it is often played as a comic role.
