General Sir George de Lacy Evans GCB (7 October 1787 – 9 January 1870) was an Irish officer in the British Army who served in four of the United Kingdom's 19th century wars.

He was the only British Army officer present at the Royal Navy 'small boat action' on Lake Borgne, and was wounded at the battle of New Orleans.

In 1853 he was given the colonelcy for life of the 21st Regiment of Foot (Royal North British Fusiliers) and promoted full general on 10 March 1861.

In particular he was harshly critical of the system by which British army officers purchased their commissions and were expected to pay for each rank of promotion.

Sir George de Lacy Evans's medals and awards are on display at the Queens Own Royal Hussars Museum located in the Lord Leycester Hospital in Warwick.
