Nepenthes × hookeriana (/nɪˈpɛnθiːz ˌhʊkəriˈɑːnə/; after Joseph Dalton Hooker), or Hooker's pitcher-plant, is a common natural hybrid involving N. ampullaria and N. rafflesiana. It was originally described as a species.

It is a relatively common natural hybrid found throughout the lowlands of Borneo, Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore, and Sumatra. It is also present on smaller surrounding islands such as Natuna. Like its parental species, the hybrid generally grows in recently disturbed clearings.
