Paul Wesley "Doc" Evans (June 20, 1907 – January 10, 1977) was an American jazz cornetist.
He learned piano and drums as a child, and played saxophone in high school.
He gave up saxophone in the late 1920s for cornet, and played Dixieland jazz regularly in Minneapolis at that time.
In 1947, he led the band that played for the opening of Chicago's Jazz, Ltd. club upon being persuaded by clarinetist Bill Reinhardt.
