Nepenthes mindanaoensis (/nɪˈpɛnθiːz ˌmɪndənaʊˈɛnsɪs/; "from Mindanao") is a tropical pitcher plant native to the Philippine islands of Mindanao and Dinagat.[8]

Nepenthes mindanaoensis belongs to the informal "N. alata group", which also includes

N. kurata, N. leyte, N. negros, N. ramos, N. saranganiensis, and N. ultra.[9][4][10][11] These species are united by a number of morphological characters, including winged petioles, lids with basal ridges on the lower surface (often elaborated into appendages), and upper pitchers that are usually broadest near the base.[9][4]

Nepenthes alata var. ecristata—described by

N. kurata),[9] before that species was synonymised with N. ramos.[13]
