Communauté d'agglomération Évreux Portes de Normandie is an intercommunal structure centered on the city of Évreux in the Eure département of Normandy. It groups multiple communes around Évreux to coordinate policies between local authorities such as Conseil départemental de l'Eure, Région Normandie, and principal municipalities like Breteuil and Louviers.

The communauté cooperates with cultural institutions including Conservatoire de musique d'Évreux, Musée d'Évreux, and regional universities such as the Université de Rouen Normandie.
Its formation reflects territorial reforms following national initiatives like the NOTRe law and precedents such as mergers inspired by examples like Métropole du Grand Paris and Communauté urbaine de Strasbourg. Historical municipal cooperation in the area dates to alliances among towns such as Évreux, Ivry-la-Bataille, and Gisors and is influenced by regional heritage from events like the Battle of Normandy and figures connected to William the Conqueror. Prefectural decisions and deliberations of municipal councils formalized the current boundaries.
Governance rests with a council composed of delegates from member communes, drawing representatives from town halls including Hôtel de Ville d'Évreux and mayors affiliated with groups like Les Républicains (France), Parti Socialiste (France), and local lists mirroring national parties such as La République En Marche!. The president of the communauté liaises with institutions like the Conseil régional de Normandie and agencies such as Agence de l'Eau Seine-Normandie and the Agence Nationale de la Cohésion des Territoires. Financial oversight involves auditing bodies such as the Cour des comptes and interactions with funding programs from the European Investment Bank.
The territory encompasses urban, peri‑urban and rural communes including Évreux, Le Neubourg, Breteuil, Ivry-la-Bataille, and Saint-André-de-l'Eure, extending across parts of the Vexin Normand and bordering intercommunal structures like Communauté de communes du Pays du Neubourg. Natural sites within the perimeter include the Forêt de Brotonne and river corridors of the Iton (rivière) and the Eure (rivière). Transportation infrastructure connects to hubs such as Gare d'Évreux-Normandie and the regional airport at Rouen Airport.
Demographic trends show urban concentration in Évreux with suburban growth influenced by commuting to Paris via connections to the Transilien network and national roads like the N13 (France).
