Louis of Évreux (3 May 1276 – 19 May 1319) was a Capetian prince and count of Évreux. He was the only son of King Philip III of France and his second wife Marie of Brabant,[1] and thus a half-brother of King Philip IV.

Louis had a quiet and reflective personality and was politically opposed to the scheming of his half-brother Charles of Valois. He was, however, close with his nephew Philip V. He was among the negotiators of the 1303 Treaty of Paris that ended the 1294–1303 Gascon War.[2]
He married Margaret of Artois,[3] daughter of Philip of Artois and sister of Robert III of Artois. They had the following children:
- Marie (1303 – 31 October 1335), married John III, Duke of Brabant in 1311[4]
- Charles (d. 1336), Count of Étampes[4] married Maria de la Cerda, Lady of Lunel, daughter of Fernando de la Cerda.[5]
- Philip III of Navarre (1306–1343), married Joan II of Navarre.[6]
- Margaret (1307–1350), married in 1325 William XII of Auvergne[4]
- Joan (1310–1370), married Charles IV of France[6]
