Nepenthes macrophylla /nɪˈpɛnθiːz ˌmækroʊˈfɪlə/, the large-leaved pitcher-plant,[4] is a tropical pitcher plant known only from a very restrictive elevation on Mount Trusmadi in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo.

Nepenthes macrophylla was once thought to be a subspecies of N. edwardsiana, but differs from that species in several aspects of pitcher and leaf morphology.[5]
