David Gwilym Lloyd Evans (27 July 1933 – 25 March 1990) was a cricketer who played as a wicketkeeper for Glamorgan from 1956 to 1969 and then became a first-class umpire in 1971, standing in nine Tests from 1981 to 1985.
Born at Lambeth, London, but brought up in West Wales, Evans joined Glamorgan in the mid-1950s and became first-choice wicketkeeper after the retirement of Haydn Davies at the end of the 1958 season.
The 89 dismissals in 1963 set a new county record for Glamorgan, though it has since been surpassed by Eifion Jones, and made Evans the leading wicketkeeper of the year.
Shortly after standing in the Lord's Test in the 1985 Ashes series, Evans was taken ill and in September 1985 he underwent heart surgery.
