Nepenthes eymae (after P. J. Eyma, botanist who worked in Surinam and the Dutch East Indies) is a carnivorous pitcher plant species of the genus Nepenthes. Its distribution is restricted to the mountains of central Sulawesi. It is closely related to N. maxima. It has also been called "N. infundibuliformis" due its funnel-shaped upper pitchers.
