Nigel Martin Evans (born 10 November 1957) is Conservative member of Parliament for Ribble Valley in northern England. He entered Parliament in 1992, and is a Eurosceptic. He was Shadow Secretary of State for Wales from 2001 to 2003. He had publicly criticized the government from not having a dedicated Secretary of State for Wales, so when the new Conservative leader Michael Howard decided to take the role outside of the Shadow Cabinet, Evans chose to return to the backbenches.
In November 2004, he was appointed a Vice-Chairman of the Conservative Party, with specific responsibility for overseeing Conservatives Abroad and mobilising the Conservative vote overseas.
