Evans Grove is a giant sequoia grove in California—one of many natural sequoia groves in the Sierra Nevada. It finds its home in Sequoia National Forest and is one of the largest groves with about 500 trees. It houses abundant stumps of dead sequoias. It can be navigated through by many dirt roads, but has no official trails. It has one tree of great size, which is named Evans tree.

The grove is named after John Evans, who lived nearby and protected the trees from fire.

Some of the trees found in the grove that are worthy of special note are:

  • Evans Tree: With a volume of 30,232 cubic feet (856.1 m3), it ranks in the top 40 giant sequoias alive today.
