George Evans, 1st Baron Carbery
- George Evans, 1st Baron Carbery
George Evans, 1st Baron Carbery PC (c. 1680-28 August 1749), was an Irish politician.
Evans was the son of George Evans and his wife Mary (née Eyre). He was elected to the Irish House of Commons for County Limerick in 1707, a seat he held until 1713. Evans's father had earlier been a strong supporter of William and Mary but declined King George I's offer of a peerage. However, the peerage was accepted by his son, who in 1715 was raised to the Peerage of Ireland as Baron Carbery, of Carbery in the County of Cork, with remainder to the male issue of his father. He was admitted to the Irish Privy Council the same year. He later represented Westbury in the British House of Commons from 1715 to 1722 and again from 1724 to 1727.
Lord Carbery married Anne, daughter of William Stafford, in 1703. He died in August 1749 and was succeeded by his son George. Lady Carbery died in 1757.
