Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge }} Gillian Rosemary Evans is a British philosopher, and emeritus professor of medieval theology and intellectual history at University of Cambridge.

Evans was educated at King Edward VI High School for Girls, Birmingham, followed by a degree in history from St Anne's College, Oxford, and a postgraduate diploma in education. She earned her PhD from Reading University writing about Anselm of Canterbury.

In 2002, Evans was appointed professor of medieval theology and intellectual history at Cambridge University. This had followed a long period of successive but denied applications for promotion to professorship. This long period was so notable that a scholar in an overlapping field at the University, Professor Dumville, took the highly unusual step in a University Discussion (formal meetings of Regent House members) of wheeling in a trolleyload of Evans' publications, by way of demonstration of her output.
