"Nepenthes pectinata" (pronEng|nəˈpɛnθiːz ˈpɛktɪnˌɑːtə, from Latin: "pectinata" = comb-shaped) is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to the Indonesian island of Sumatra. There is much confusion surrounding the status of this species as well as "N. gymnamphora" and "N. xiphioides".

B. H. Danser's original description of "N. pectinata" was based on material that included upper pitchers of "N. singalana".Clarke, C.M. 2001. "Nepenthes of Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia". Natural History Publications (Borneo), Kota Kinabalu.]

What Danser considered to be the hybrid "N. pectinata" × "N. singalana" actually represented pure "N. singalana".
