David Anthony Evennett (born 3 June 1949, Romford) is a Conservative politician. He was elected as the Member of Parliament for Bexleyheath and Crayford at the 2005 general election. Previously he was the MP for Erith and Crayford between the 1983 and 1997 general elections.
He was educated at Buckhurst Hill County High School and the London School of Economics where he was awarded an MSc in Economics. He began his career as a teacher at Ilford County High School, 1972–4 and resigned when he became a councillor for the London Borough of Redbridge (1974–78). From 1974 until 1981 he was also a marine insurance broker at Lloyd's, and he worked as a lecturer in management between 1997–2005.
At the 1979 general election he contested the safe Labour seat of Hackney South and Shoreditch but lost by 6,704 to Ronald Brown.
He was elected as the Conservative MP for Erith and Crayford at the 1983 general election when he defeated James Wellbeloved who had defected from the Labour Party to the new Social Democratic Party in 1981. Evennett won the seat with a majority of 920 votes over Wellbeloved. He remained the MP until the seat was redrawn at the 1997 general election.
