Nepenthes macfarlanei (/nᵻˈpɛnθiːz ˌmækfɑːrˈleɪni.aɪ/; after John Muirhead Macfarlane, botanist) is a carnivorous pitcher plant species endemic to Peninsular Malaysia. It produces attractive red-speckled pitchers. Lower pitchers are ovoid to cylindrical and up to 20 cm high. The lower surface of the lid is densely covered with short, white hairs. This is a characteristic morphological feature of this species, but at present its function is unknown.

The following natural hybrids involving N. macfarlanei have been recorded.
