Nepenthes glabrata (Latin: glaber = bald) is a species of pitcher plant native to central Sulawesi. It grows in open, high forest at 1,600 to 2,000 m altitude.[1]

N. glabrata does not appear to be closely related to any other Nepenthes species. It has dainty, colourful pitchers only reaching a couple of centimetres in height.
