The evidential problem of evil is a significant argument within the philosophy of religion that challenges the existence of an omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent God. Unlike the logical problem of evil, which attempts to show that the existence of evil is logically incompatible with the existence of God, the evidential problem of evil argues that the presence and extent of evil in the world make God's existence unlikely rather than impossible. This argument is primarily probabilistic, relying on empirical observations of evil to suggest that it is improbable for an all-powerful, all-knowing, and wholly good deity to exist.

Philosophers such as William Rowe and Paul Draper have been central to formulating the evidential problem of evil. Rowe, in particular, presents a well-known argument that hinges on instances of apparently gratuitous suffering—suffering that seems to serve no greater good or necessary purpose.
