Nepenthes burbidgeae (after the wife of Frederick William Burbidge) is highland Nepenthes species with a patchy distribution around Mount Kinabalu. It can often be found growing with colonies of N. rajah, N. edwardsiana and N. tentaculata, and hybrids with all these species have been recorded. The plant produces beautifully coloured pitchers up to 20 cm in length.
Frederick Burbidge was one of the first to collect the plant and introduce it into cultivation.
No forms or varieties of N. burbidgeae have been described.
