Nepenthes sibuyanensis (Latin: Sibuyan = island to which it is endemic, -ensis = from) is a recently described highland Nepenthes species from the Philippines. It occurs at altitudes of between 1500 and 1800 m. The pitchers are large (<30 cm), ovoid and usually yellow to red in colouration with a darker peristome. It is closely related to the more widespread N. ventricosa.
