The Evangelical People's Party of Switzerland (German: Evangelische Volkspartei der Schweiz, French: Parti Evangelique Suisse, Italian: Partito Evangelico Svizzero, Romansh: Partida evangelica da la Svizra) is a political party in Switzerland.

In questions of redistribution, education, environmentalism, immigration policy, the EVP stands rather center-left. In questions of euthanasia, abortion, and registered partnership and other typically Christian issues, the party is conservative. The EVP is centrist on economic issues. On the environment it claims "The EPP is dedicated to protecting the environment out of a sense of responsibility for the Creation." "Evangelical" translates as evangelisch, the Swiss term for Protestant, as opposed to Evangelicalism as used in Anglo-Saxon Christianity.
