Nepenthes petiolata (/nɪˈpɛnθiːz ˌpiːtioʊˈlɑːtə/; from Latin: petiolatus "petiolate", referring to leaf attachment) is a highland Nepenthes pitcher plant species endemic to Mindanao island in the Philippines, where it grows at an elevation of 1450–1900 m above sea level.
N. petiolata holotype (Elmer 13705)
Nepenthes petiolata may itself have evolved from a cross between N. alata and N. truncata. Examples of other Nepenthes species with a putative hybrid origin include N. hamiguitanensis, N. hurrelliana, and N. murudensis.
