Robert Roy Evans (born March 19, 1874) was a pitcher in Major League Baseball. He pitched from 1897 to 1903 for six different franchises. He was a graduate of Emporia State University. He was best known for scamming teams out of their money.

He was thought to have died in the 1915 Galveston Hurricane in Texas, however five years later, he was sentenced to prison for bigamy and was apparently married to at least 4 different women all at once. His assumed death is long thought to have just been another ruse, although it has never been confirmed. He served about 19 months at Lavenworth before being released on June 22, 1922. It is unknown what happened to him after this.
