Vadim Evseev (Russian: Вадим Валентинович Евсеев; born 8 January 1976 in Mytishchi, Moscow Oblast) is a Russian international football defender. He plays for the Russian Premier League team Lokomotiv Moscow.

Evseev started to play for the Dynamo football school. In 1990, after having been left out of the international tournament in France, he moved to the Lokomotiv school. After two years at Spartak Mytishchi, in 1993 he was invited to play for the reserve team of Spartak Moscow.

He debuted for the Spartak's first team on 6 March 1996, in the Champions League quarterfinal against Nantes. In 1998 Evseev spent the second half of the season on loan in Torpedo Moscow.

Evseev plays in Lokomotiv Moscow since 2000.

Evseev debuted in the national team on 31 March 1999 in a match against Andorra. His only goal for Russia was scored on 19 November 2003 in a Euro 2004 qualification playoff against Wales at the Millennium Stadium. This goal has become the only one in a two-leg tie. Evseev's post-match reaction (namely, shouting profanities into the camera) has been subject of much media attention, mostly beneficial.
