David Read Evans (February 20, 1769 – March 8, 1843) was a U.S. Representative from South Carolina and a slaveholder.[1]

Born in Westminster, England, Evans immigrated to the United States in 1784 with his father, who settled in South Carolina. He attended Mount Zion College and studied law, being admitted to the bar in 1796. Evans began practicing law in Winnsboro and served in the South Carolina House of Representatives from 1802 to 1805. He was the solicitor of the middle judicial circuit from 1804 to 1811.

Evans was elected as a Democratic-Republican to the Thirteenth Congress, serving from March 4, 1813, to March 3, 1815. After declining to seek reelection, he returned to his plantation. He later served in the South Carolina Senate from 1824 to 1832 and was the first president of the Fairfield Bible Society.

Evans died in Winnsboro, South Carolina, on March 8, 1843, and was initially interred at a private residence in Winnsboro. His burial site is now the Bethel A.R.P. Cemetery on North Vanderhorst Street, Winnsboro, SC.
