David Walter Evans (born August 17, 1946) is a former U.S. Representative from Indiana.

Born in Lafayette, Indiana, Evans attended public schools in Shoals, Indiana. In 1967, he graduated from Indiana University, where he also did some postgraduate work from 1967 to 1969. This was followed by work at the Butler University from 1969 to 1971.

Between 1968 and 1974, Evans was a teacher of social studies and science. Also, he served as delegate to the Democratic National Mid-term Convention in 1974. Evans was elected as a Democrat to the Ninety-fourth Congress as well as to the three succeeding Congresses (January 3, 1975 - January 3, 1983).

After the 1980 census, the Republican-controlled Indiana General Assembly radically altered Evans' 6th District, turning it into a heavily Republican district centered on Indianapolis' wealthy northern suburbs. It was an open secret that the district was redrawn for State Senator Dan Burton. In the process, they drew Evans' home into the neighboring 10th District of fellow Democrat Andy Jacobs. Evans ran against Jacobs in the primary for this district and was soundly defeated. Meanwhile, Burton won the 6th District in November and still holds it today.

Evans currently lives in McLean, Virginia and works as a legislative consultant in Washington.
