Nepenthes faizaliana (after the son of the describing author M. Kh. Faizal) is a highland pitcher plant species endemic to the limestone cliffs of Gunung Mulu National Park. It is thought to be most closely related to N. boschiana. N. faizaliana is sometimes confused with a form of N. fusca from Sarawak.
