Nepenthes smilesii (/nɪˈpɛnθiːz ˈsmaɪlziaɪ, - smaɪˈliːziaɪ/) is a tropical pitcher plant native to northeastern Thailand, southern Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Nepenthes smilesii can tolerate an extended dry season and is most common in open, sandy savannah and grassland.
The specific epithet smilesii refers to plant collector Frederick Henry Smiles, who made the first known collection of this species.
