''Nepenthes tentaculata'' /nᵻˈpɛnθiːz tɛnˌtækjuːˈlɑːtə/, or the Fringed Pitcher-Plant, is a tropical pitcher plant with a wide distribution across Borneo and Sulawesi. It grows at altitudes of 400–2550 m.

The specific epithet ''tentaculata'' is derived from the Latin word ''tentacula'', meaning "tentacles", and refers to the multicellular appendages on the upper surface of the pitcher lid.
