Nepenthes copelandii (pronounced /nəˈpɛnθiːz kəʊplændiːaɪ/, after E. B. Copeland, curator of the Manila Herbarium) is a species of pitcher plant native to the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. It is endemic to Mount Apo near Davao City and Mount Pasian near Bislig. The two populations exhibit slightly different pitcher morphology. N. copelandii is very closely related to N. alata.
N. copelandii has no known natural hybrids. No forms or varieties have been described.
