Elfed Ellison Evans (August 28, 1926 in Ferndale, Wales – May 13, 1988) was a Welsh professional footballer.

Evans, an inside-forward, joined Cardiff City in May 1949 from Treharris, having previously played for Trelewis and Glamorgan side Nelson. He made his league debut the following season. He joined Torquay United on loan in March 1951, scoring 6 goals in 12 league games. He returned to Cardiff, playing one more season to finish his Ninian Park career with 18 goals in 46 games.

In June 1952 he moved to West Bromwich Albion for a fee of £5,000 and played 17 times the following season. However he didn't appear in Albion's league side for the next two seasons and in June 1955 joined Wrexham for £1,250. In December 1956 he moved on again, after scoring 16 times in 34 league games for the Robins, joining Southport for £600. He played 13 games for Southport without scoring to finish his league career. He subsequently played for non-league sides Caernarfon Town and Burton Albion.
