Nepenthes burkei (/nᵻˈpɛnθiːz ˈbɜːrki.aɪ/; after David Burke, British plant collector) is a tropical pitcher plant native to the island of Mindoro in the Philippines, where it grows at an elevation of 1100–2000 m. It is very closely related to N. sibuyanensis and N. ventricosa. It has only recently entered wider cultivation.
Two varieties of N. burkei have been described.
