Nepenthes spathulata (Latin: spathulatus = spatula-shaped) is a species of tropical pitcher plant. It produces the largest pitchers of the Sumatran Nepenthes species. Plants grow in mossy forest and upper montane forest on summits at an altitude of 1100-2900 m. The closest relative of this species appears to be N. singalana.
