Nepenthes chaniana (pronounced /nɨˈpɛnθiːz ˌtʃæniˈɑːnə/, after Datuk Chan Chew Lun, Managing Director of Natural History Publications (Borneo)) is a highland pitcher plant species belonging to the genus Nepenthes. It is characterised by a dense indumentum of long, white hairs. Pitchers are cylindrical and mostly white to yellow in colouration.

Cultivated plants of this species were for a long time misidentified as N. pilosa. While N. pilosa is endemic to Kalimantan, N. chaniana is native to Sabah and Sarawak (Bukit Batu Lawi and other mountains). The pitchers of N. pilosa are rounder and broader in shape than those of N. chaniana.

The type specimen of N. chaniana was collected by Charles Clarke on Mount Alab, the highest peak in Crocker Range National Park.

Natural hybrids

• ? N. albomarginata × N. chaniana^[2]
• N. chaniana × N. veitchii^[3][4]

Plants identified by Charles Clarke^[3][5] as a hybrid between N. chaniana (known as N. pilosa at the time)^[1] and N. lowii are now thought to represent N. fusca × N. lowii.^[4]
