Charles Evans (19 February 1866 - 14 January 1956) was an English cricketer who played for Derbyshire between 1889 and 1895.
Evans was born at Newbold, Derbyshire, the son of George Evans, an engine wright at a colliery, and his wife Harriett. In 1881, Evans was an engine driver at the colliery at the age of 15.[1]
Evans' first match for Derbyshire was in the 1889 season in the period when Derbyshire's matches were not accorded first-class status, and he played six games at intervals in the period taking 13 wickets at just over 18 runs each. Evans made his first-class debut in the 1894 season in June against Lancashire and his best bowling figures were 4 for 46 against Warwickshire in the same year. He played three games in the County Championship in the 1895 season averaging two wickets a match but at a high cost.
