Nepenthes stenophylla (Greek: steno = narrow, phylla = leaves) is an intermediate to highland species of pitcher plant from Borneo. It produces attractive funnel-shaped pitchers up to 15 cm high.

There has been confusion surrounding this species and the (presumed synonymous) N. fallax ever since it was first described. This is due to the fact that the type specimen came from a plant raised from seed in a greenhouse in England - not a wild plant as is usually the case. However, until this dispute is resolved, N. stenophylla is the name used as a matter of convention.
