Evangeline is a song and the 12th EP by Scottish alternative rock band Cocteau Twins. It was recorded and mixed at September Sound in London, and released in September 1993 by record label Fontana. The song was a moderate hit in several countries and was very popular in Portugal. It was included on the band's seventh studio album, Four-Calendar Café.

Critical reception

In Alec Foege's review of Four-Calendar Café in Spin magazine, "Evangeline" was noted as one of the album's three most successful songs. Foege said that "..."Evangeline" swells with the effects-treated grandeur of Simon Raymonde and Robin Guthrie's accompaniment".[2]
