Alfredo E. Evangelista (September 22, 1926 – October 18, 2008) was a Filipino archeologist and former director of the Anthropology division of the National Museum of the Philippines.

His parents, Catalino N. Evangelista from Pangasinan and Filomena S. Esguerra from Dumaguete City, initially did not support the idea of him becoming an archaeologist; instead, they wanted him to be a lawyer.

[3] In November 1949, while an undergraduate student, Evangelista and his classmate Arsenio Manuel were chosen by Wilhelm Solheim to participate in archaeological digs supervised by Professor H. Otley Beyer.

Beyer and his team excavated sites from the Bondoc Peninsula to the Batungan Mountain range in Masbate, where they uncovered pottery specimens dating back to the Neolithic age.

Evangelista joined Solheim's team when he asked for volunteers to accompany him to Batungan Mountain in Masbate, and he later defined this as the moment when his passion for archaeology began.

In 1956, Evangelista and his fellow National Museum researcher, Robert Fox, undertook an archaeological excavation in Bato Caves, Sorsogon.
