Cora Louise Evans (1904^[1] – March 30, 1957) was an American wife and mother who was raised Mormon and eventually went on to convert to Catholicism in 1935. She is considered to be a Catholic mystic.^[2]

She said she received visions of Jesus and Mary, which she promoted as "The Mystical Humanity of Christ."^[1] Her cause for sainthood has been approved by the Holy See, declaring her a Servant of God, and is being investigated by the Diocese of Monterey in California.^[2]

Evans was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints but became disillusioned with the church and was baptized into the Catholic Church in 1935 in Utah.^[2][3]
