Joanna Evans (born 25 July 1997) is a Bahamian competitive swimmer who specializes in freestyle. She qualified for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro She did not progress past the heats in either event.
Evans served a four-year competition ban that expired in February 2026 for an anti-rule doping violation after testing positive for clostebol. She initially received a two-year ban in April 2023 for "unintentional use", which she took to an appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). However, that tribunal dismissed the original ban and increased it to four years, as they did not accept the unintentional use defence. Evans expressed disappointment with WADA's handling of the case, claiming it damaged her career and reputation.
Evans competed for the first time since the expiration of the ban in March 2026, where she swam the 200m and 400m freestyle in Nassau, Bahamas at the age of 28.
