Cadel Lee Evans (born 14 February 1977) is an Australian former professional racing cyclist who competed professionally in both mountain biking and road bicycle racing.

Cadel Evans was born on 14 February 1977 at the Katherine District Hospital, Katherine, Northern Territory, Australia, to Helen (née Cocks), a bank manager, and Paul Evans, a council foreman.
