Evangelical Press (also known as 'EP Books') is a small Christian not-for-profit publisher of books, including two commentary series and a range of non-fiction aimed at the ordinary reader. In 2022, 10Publishing acquired the publishing rights of EP, and today is continuing to grow the publishing range of EP. Distribution in the US is provided by 10ofThose USA, based in Louisville, Kentucky. It serves a Reformed conservative evangelical constituency.

EP's best-selling authors include John Blanchard, Dane Ortlund, Faith Cook, Sharon James, JC Ryle and many others. John Blanchard's booklet Ultimate Questions has now printed in excess of eighteen million copies[citation needed] and is translated into over fifty languages, and is also online. EP also publishes the popular Welwyn Commentary series, helpful for preachers but intended to reach ordinary readers as well. In 2018 this series completed a revision and redesign. In late 2023, the whole Bible was covered by the commentary series, with the publication of John.
