Evergreen, also known as Evergreen Estates, is a suburban residential neighbourhood in the southwest quadrant of Calgary, Alberta. It is located south of the Fish Creek Provincial Park, and southeast from the Tsuu T'ina first nation reserve.

There are two sections of Evergreen, the older and more established Evergreen Estates, and the newer Evergreen to the south. The two sections have separate community associations and street naming patterns. All streets with Evergreen in their name are members of the Shawnee-Evergreen Community Association along with the neighbouring community Shawnee Slopes, while those with different names are members of the Calgary Evergreen Community Association.[3]

Shawnee Slopes Golf Course, at the heart of the Shawnee Slopes/Evergreen Estates communities, is currently under threat of re-development from its new owners. They have received approval to re-zone the land and erect 1400 (mostly) single-family homes on the site. This plan is in line with Calgary's PlanIt redevelopment scheme.

The area is represented in the Calgary City Council by the Ward 13 councillor.[1]

The film Radiant City largely takes place in the community of Evergreen.
