Evern "Earl" Bailly (8 July 1903 – 1 July 1977) was a Canadian mouth-painter and print-maker.

Bailly was born in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia in 1903. ... When he was three years old he contracted polio, and this made him a quadriplegic for the rest of his life. ... He learned to write, then draw, by holding a pen in his mouth, and won a drawing contest in a newspaper. His mother said "His father and I tried to interest Earl in other things. We felt that he was headed for disappointment. But the other children knew better. They set up drawing boards for him — until I gave in."
