Nepenthes hispida (/nɪˈpɛnθiːz ˈhɪspɪdə/; from Latin: hispidus "bristly") is a tropical pitcher plant species native to Borneo. It grows at elevations of 100 to 800 m in kerangas forest.[3] It is known with certainty only from Lambir Hills National Park and surrounding areas.[4]

Nepenthes hispida is listed as Conservation Dependent on the 2006 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.[1]

In the wild, N. hispida is only known to hybridise with N. reinwardtiana.[3][5]
