Ian Evans (born 4 October 1984 in Johannesburg, South Africa) is a Welsh rugby union footballer. Brought up in Aberdare, and playing his Rugby for Pontypridd RFC, he quickly made his mark upon Wales' Age-Grade selectors with a succession of athletic and promising performances for the Valleys' team. Joining up with Swansea RFC in 2004, he progressed through the internal system to play for the Ospreys in the Celtic League and Heineken Cup, and has played for the national team. His usual position is at lock. He is the tallest member of the national team at 2.03 meters.

He represented Wales at both under-19 and under-21 levels. Evans made his Celtic League debut against Munster as a replacement in September 2005 He also made his Heineken Cup debut against Leicester. He made his debut for Wales in June 2006, playing in two Tests against Argentina, scoring a try in the first game. Evans then went on to start 3 of Wales' 4 matches in the 2006 Autumn internationals including the match against New Zealand. He was due to make his comeback from long term injury versus the Pumas in a World Cup warm-up game in Cardiff but suffered a further set back damaging his collar bone. He was unfortunate to miss out on being selected for the 2007 Rugby World Cup due to said injury.
