Nepenthes fusca (Latin: fuscus = dark brown, dusky) is an intermediate to highland species of pitcher plant from the island of Borneo. It is found throughout a wide altitudinal range (1200-2500 m) and is almost always epiphytic in nature, primarily growing in mossy forest. It is closely related to N. faizaliana.
