Evangelos Sarris (Greek: Ευάγγελος Σαρρής; 1881 – February 1917) was an officer of the Cretan gendarmerie and one of the leaders of the National Defence movement in Greece.
Born in 1881 in Neapoli, Crete (province Mirabello which was at the time part of the Ottoman Empire), Sarris interrupted his studies in 1898 in order to participate in the revolution.
Since he could speak many languages as well as his native Greek, (including English, French, Italian, and Turkish), Sarris became an interpreter at the headquarters of the gendarmerie in Chania.
In 1913, Sarris participated in the battle to capture Bulgarian troops stationed in Thessaloniki and was decorated with the silver knight's cross of the Battalion of Saviour for his services in liberated Thessalonica.
In August 1916, as commander of the first company, he participated in the National Defence coup d’ etat that intended to spur Greece's entry in World War I in favour of the entente powers.
