Eva Mylott (1875 Tuross Head, New South Wales, Australia – c. 1920 New York City or New Jersey) was an Australian contralto opera singer.

Her cousin Maree Narelle was also a singer.

In New York, in 1917, she met and married businessman John Hutton Gibson and had two children, Hutton Peter Gibson, in 1918 and Alexis Mylott Gibson.
