Nepenthes pantaronensis is a tropical pitcher plant native to the Philippines . It is known only from Mount Sumagaya and the Pantaron Mountain Range of central Mindanao, where it grows in lower and upper montane forest.[2] On Mount Sumagaya it is sympatric with N. sumagaya[3] and possible hybrids between these species have been recorded.[2] Nepenthes pantaronensis is closely allied to N. petiolata and N. pulchra, both also from Mindanao.[2]

The specific epithet pantaronensis refers to the Pantaron Mountain Range, where the species was discovered.[2]

The discovery and recognition of this taxon as a new species was announced online in September 2012, under the placeholder name "Nepenthes species 5".[4]
