Herbert Evans (16 April 1882 – 10 February 1952) was an English film actor. He appeared in over 180 films between 1916 and 1952.
Modern viewers will remember Evans as the Earl of Glenheather Castle in The Three Stooges comedy The Hot Scots and its remake Scotched in Scotland. He also excelled as the well-meaning but clueless butler Wilkes in Vagabond Loafers. He also appeared in the Our Gang short Shrimps for a Day.
In addition to his work in the short subject genre, Evans appeared—often uncredited—in such films as Casablanca, Strangers on a Train, Annie Get Your Gun and Song of the Thin Man. He also had bit roles in the Shirley Temple vehicles Curly Top and Wee Willie Winkie.
Evans died on 10 February 1952 shortly after filming for The Brigand was completed.
