埃文斯·普里查德(Evans-Pritchard)，英国社会人类学家，曾任牛津大学教授。其依循着英国功能主义大师拉德克里夫·布朗的结构功能论而发展出了社会人类学中动态平衡论的功能主义人类学。他通过对苏丹努尔人的人类学田野研究所撰写的《努尔人》(1940)一书，已经成为人类学专业的经典著作。其最重要的贡献是在于，他指出了亲属制度中的裂变分支体系，另外对于原始认知的研究，也成为许多人类学后续研究的出发点。他的主要著作包括：《亚赞地人的妖术神谕与巫术》（1937）、《努尔人的亲属制度与婚姻》（1951）、《努尔人的宗教》（1956）、《社会人类学论集》（1962）、《原始宗教理论》（1965）等。 迈耶·福蒂斯（Meyer Fortes，1906–1983）。
