Evansville is a census-designated place (CDP) in Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, Alaska, United States.

The community is named after Wilford Evans, Sr,[2] who took part in the founding of Bettles Lodge.

As with much of Interior Alaska, Evansville experiences a subarctic climate (Köppen Dfc) with very long, frigid winters and short, warm summers, and is located in USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 1,[7] indicating the coldest temperature of the year is typically at or below −50 °F (−46 °C).

Temperatures usually remain consistently below freezing from late October to late March, and the majority of the year's snow occurs from October to April, with lighter amounts in May and September; the average annual snowfall stands at 91 inches (2.31 m).

The first frost of the season usually begins in late August, but sometimes it can happen during the first half of that month.

Extreme temperatures have ranged from −70 °F (−57 °C), recorded on January 4, 1975, up to 93 °F (34 °C), set on July 6, 1986.
