Lisa Maria Evers (born 1953) is an American general assignment reporter for FOX 5 News in New York City, a former high-ranking Guardian Angel, and Curtis Sliwa's ex-wife.

Evers has interviewed such celebrities as Derek Jeter, Jay-Z, and 50 Cent, and she occasionally hosts FOX 5's public affairs show on topical issues, Good Day Street Talk. In addition to television, Evers hosts a weekly #1 rated community affairs talk show on New York's Hot 97-FM radio station.

Prior to FOX 5, Evers was a general assignment reporter for 1010 WINS, the nation's #1 news radio station. She reported live from Ground Zero on September 11, 2001 and for many days following the terror attacks. She began at WINS as a freelance reporter, and was also working for CNN Radio Network and the ABC Radio Network.

In 1987 Evers' book Attitude was released.

With the support of FOX 5 and HOT 97, she led a drive that brought a truckload of new clothes, sneakers, and toys to survivors of Hurricane Katrina. More recently, along with the Hip Hop Has Heart Foundation, she helped organize a major relief effort in the Rockaways, following Super Storm Sandy.

Evers was discovered by a fashion photographer who saw her on the subway and took some test shots, which led her to a modeling contract with Elite Model Management in the 1980s. With Elite, she worked in New York and Paris, and appeared in a variety of magazines around the world, including French editions of Elle and Vogue, as well as magazines in Australia, India, and the UK.
