Nepenthes suratensis is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to Surat Thani Province, Thailand, where it grows near sea level in coastal savannah and grassland.[2] It is thought to be most closely related to N. andamana.[2][3]

The specific epithet suratensis is derived from the name of Surat Thani Province and the Latin ending -ensis, meaning "from".
