Sir Francis Edward Evans GBE KCMG DL (4 April 1897 – 21 August 1983) was a British diplomat.

After serving in the First World War, he entered the civil service in 1919, and the following year completed a course for new consular entrants at the London School of Economics.

Between 1920 and 1926 Evans was the British vice-consul at New York City, and for another three years after that at Boston.

This was immediately followed in 1954 by his appointment as ambassador to Argentina, a post he held for three years before retiring.

For many years Evans served on the Board of Governors of his old school, Belfast Royal Academy.
