''Nepenthes argentii'' (; after George Argent) is a highland ''Nepenthes'' pitcher plant native to Mount Guiting-Guiting on Sibuyan Island in the Philippines. It is possibly the smallest species in the genus and does not appear to have a climbing stage.〔 ''Nepenthes argentii'' inhabits subalpine shrubbery "with a smooth wind-clipped canopy 30 cm tall on an ultrabasic ridge".〔 Listed as Vulnerable (VU D2 v2.3).〕 It grows at an elevation of 1400–1900 m.〔McPherson, S.R. 2009. ''Pitcher Plants of the Old World''. 2 volumes. Redfern Natural History Productions, Poole.〕 On Mount Guiting-Guiting, ''N. argentii'' is sympatric with ''N. sibuyanensis'' at around 1600 to 1770 m.〔〔Rybka, V., R. Rybková & R. Cantley 2005.
