Laurie John Evans (born 12 October 1987 in Lambeth) is an English cricketer, contracted to Sussex County Cricket Club. He was educated at The John Fisher School and Whitgift School, before attending Durham University, where he played first-class cricket for Durham MCC University. He graduated from Surrey County Cricket Club Academy in 2007. He played three first-class games for Durham UCCE in 2007, and one first-class game for the MCC against the touring West Indies later that summer. He was released from Surrey in 2010 having played just three county championship matches for them, and he then signed for Warwickshire later that year.

He batted in an advert that bookended Sky Sports coverage of the 2008 Test Cricket series between England and South Africa.

With Tim Ambrose, Evans set a new Warwickshire county record for a sixth wicket partnership on 1 July 2015. The pair added 327 against Sussex in the County Championship at Birmingham.

In August 2016 he moved to Northamptonshire on a one-month-long loan.

In December 2016, Evans signed for Sussex ahead of the 2017 season.
