Nepenthes × hookeriana (; after Joseph Dalton Hooker), or Hooker's pitcher-plant,Phillipps, A. & A. Lamb 1996. Pitcher-Plants of Borneo. Natural History Publications (Borneo), Kota Kinabalu. 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.McPherson, S.R. & A. Robinson 2012.

It is also present on smaller surrounding islands such as Natuna. Mansur, M. 2012. Keanekaragaman jenis tumbuhan pemakan serangga dan laju fotosintesisnya di Pulau Natuna. [Diversity on insectivorous plants and its photosynthetic rate in Natuna Island.] Berita Biologi 11(1): 33–42. Abstract Like its parental species, the hybrid generally grows in recently disturbed clearings.
