John Evans (Waynesville, 9 marzo 1814 – Denver, 2 luglio 1897) è stato un politico, medico, fondatore di vari ospedali e associazioni mediche e promotore ferroviario statunitense, governatore del territorio del Colorado e diede in nome a Evanston, Illinois, Evans, Colorado e a Monte Evans, in Colorado. È noto soprattutto per essere stato uno dei fondatori della Northwestern University e dell'Università di Denver. Le cattedre John Evans, le più alte onorificenze conferite ai docenti sia della Northwestern University che dell'Università di Denver, prendono il nome da lui. Portando il servizio ferroviario a Denver da diverse direzioni, fu atefice della crescita di Denver da insediamento a città. Evans fu costretto a dimettersi dal governatorato nel 1865 per il suo ruolo nell'istigazione al massacro di Sand Creek, uno dei peggiori massacri di nativi americani nella storia degli Stati Uniti.
