Evelyn Preer (née Jarvis; July 26, 1896 – November 17, 1932), was a pioneering American stage and screen actress and jazz and blues singer of the 1910s through the early 1930s. Preer was known within the black community as "The First Lady of the Screen." She was the first black actress to earn celebrity and popularity. She appeared in ground-breaking films and stage productions, such as the first play by a black playwright to be produced on Broadway, and the first New York-style production with a black cast in California in 1928, in a revival of a play adapted from Somerset Maugham's Rain.

La communauté noire l'appelait "The First Lady of the Screen". Elle fut la première actrice noire à gagner la célébrité et la popularité. Elle est apparue dans des films et des productions théâtrales d'avant-garde, comme dans la première pièce d'un auteur noir à être produite à Broadway et aussi dans la première production californienne « New York-style » avec un casting noir, en 1928, dans une reprise de Rain, une pièce adaptée de la nouvelle de Somerset Maugham.
