Evelyn Frederick Charles Ludowyk (1906–1985) was a Shakespearean scholar, author, playwright, and literary critic, and the first professor of English of the University of Ceylon.
He was made the first Dean of Arts in the newly established University in Peradeniya in 1952.

In 1956, because the island's humid climate caused Edith problems, the couple moved to London.
