Evangelia Tsagka (Greek: Ευαγγελία Τσάγκα; born June 30, 1987) is a Greek former swimmer, who specialized in freestyle events.[1] She is a single-time Olympian (2004), and a silver medalist in the freestyle relay at the 2001 Mediterranean Games in Tunis, Tunisia (8:16.14).[2]

Tsagka qualified for the women's 4×200 m freestyle relay, as a member of the host nation's team, at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.[3] Teaming with Zoi Dimoschaki, Marianna Lymperta, and Georgia Manoli in heat one, Tsagka swam a third leg and recorded a split of 2:05.99. She and her fellow Greeks rounded out an eight-team field to last place and fifteenth overall in a final time of 8:16.69.[4][5]
