Turok: Evolution is a first-person shooter game in the Turok series. A prequel to Turok: Dinosaur Hunter (1997), it was developed by Acclaim Studios Austin and published by Acclaim Entertainment. It was released for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCube in 2002, alongside a handheld version for the Game Boy Advance. A port of the home console game was released for Windows in 2003, for the European market.

While previous home console games in the series were exclusive to the Nintendo 64, Turok: Evolution marked the series' debut on next-generation platforms. Development was underway in 2001, after a year of creating the game development tools and engine. Turok: Evolution received mixed reviews according to Metacritic. The series was rebooted with a 2008 entry titled Turok.
