Nepenthes sanguinea (Latin: sanguineus = blood red) is a large and vigorous Nepenthes pitcher plant species, native to the Malay Peninsula, where it grows at 900-1800 m altitude. The pitchers are variable in size, from 10-30 cm tall, and range from green and yellow to orange and red. The insides of the pitchers are usually speckled with its two main colors.

This highland pitcher plant can be grown on a windowsill or in partly shaded areas outside, as well as in a terrarium, provided that it is large enough to accommodate this nepenthes.
