Edwin Evans (March 26, 1849 - July 2, 1921) was an Australian cricketer who played in 6 Tests between 1881 and 1886.

Born in Emu Plains, New South Wales and educated at Newington College (1865-1866) ^[1], Evans was an off spinner with an ability to consistently land the ball wherever he wanted to and had some success in Australian first-class cricket.

However when called up for the national team his accuracy deserted him and he failed to make a serious impact.

After a career as a professional kangaroo shooter, Evans died in Walgett, New South Wales.
