Nepenthes misoolensis is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to Misool Island, in the Rajah Ampat Archipelago, in Southwest Papua, Indonesia.[1]

The species is named from the contraction of "Misool", the type locality, and the Latin ending "-ensis" which means "from", meaning "from Misool", within which the species is apparently endemic.[1]
