Nepenthes paniculata (/nᵻˈpɛnθiːz ˌpænᵻkjuːˈlɑːtə/; from Latin: panicula "panicle") is a tropical pitcher plant belonging to the genus Nepenthes.
Nepenthes paniculata is probably endemic to Mount Doorman Top in New Guinea (03°28′01″S 138°26′59″E / 3.46694°S 138.44972°E). It has been recorded from mossy forest on a ridge top at 1,460 m altitude.
Nepenthes paniculata has no known natural hybrids. No forms or varieties have been described.
In 1994, A. Wistuba, H. Rischer, B. Baumgartl, and B. Kistler explored Doorman Top in search of N. paniculata but found no Nepenthes other than N. lamii (then known as N. vieillardii) and N. maxima. However, they climbed a different slope to the one from which N. paniculata was originally collected.
