Eva contro Eva (Italian for Eva against Eva) is the sixth studio album by Italian singer-song-writer Carmen Consoli. It was released in Italy on May 12, 2006, and reached No. 1 in the FIMI Italian Albums Chart, selling about 80,000 copies and gaining platinum status.

The album contains collaborations with Goran Bregovic and Angelique Kidjo, respectively in "Il pendio dell'abbandono" and "Madre Terra".[2] It was described as "maybe [Consoli's] best work", with "warm arrangements of strings and woodwinds" and Consoli abandoning electric guitars and "returning to the sounds of Sicilian tradition".[2] Two singles, "Signor Tentenna" and "Tutto su Eva", were released.

The album was also published in the United States in 2007.
