Dudley MacNeil Evans MC (1 December 1886 — 18 December 1972) was an English first-class cricketer and British Indian Army officer. A member of the Evans cricketing family, he played first-class cricket for Hampshire in 1904 and 1905, before appearing for the county in 1911, a season in which he took 50 wickets. The six-year break in his first-class career was due to his commitments as an officer in the British Indian Army. His military career spanned from 1906 to 1939, during which he served in the First World War and was awarded the Military Cross.
