William John Evans, detto Bill (Plainfield, 16 agosto 1929 – New York, 15 settembre 1980), è stato un pianista e compositore statunitense. Ha suonato molto spesso in trio. Viene considerato uno dei maggiori esponenti di musica jazz dopo la seconda guerra mondiale. Fece parte del sestetto di Miles Davis con il quale nel 1959 registrò l'album Kind of Blue. Molte delle sue composizioni, come Waltz for Debby, sono divenute degli standard e sono state registrate da molti altri artisti. Evans ricevette ben trentuno nomination ai Grammy Awards vincendone sette, e la sua popolarità lo portò a essere incluso nella Jazz Hall of Fame.
