Evelyn Stevens (born May 9, 1983) is a retired American professional road cyclist.[3] She competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics in the Women's road race, finishing 24th.[4] On 27 February 2016, Stevens rode the current UCI Hour record for women at the Olympic Training Center Velodrome in Colorado, United States with a distance of 47.980 km.[5] She broke the record set January 22 by Australian Bridie O'Donnell in Adelaide, Australia by 1.1 km.

Stevens was born in Claremont, California but grew up in Acton, Massachusetts,[8] where she attended Acton-Boxborough Regional High School.[9] She studied government and women and gender studies at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire and was a member of the college's tennis team.[10]

After graduating in 2005[8] she moved to New York City where she worked for Lehman Brothers for two years, then for mezzanine fund Gleacher Mezzanine before quitting in July 2009 to take up cycling full-time.[11]
