Heliamphora nutans (Latin: nutans = nodding) is a species of marsh pitcher plant native to Venezuela, Brazil and Guyana, where it grows on several tepuis, including Roraima, Kukenan, Tramen and Ilu. Heliamphora nutans was the first Heliamphora to be described and is the best known species.

Heliamphora nutans was originally discovered in 1839 on Mount Roraima by the two brothers Robert and Richard Schomburgk,[1] although they did not collect samples to return to Europe. In 1881, David Burke was plant-hunting in the same area of British Guiana where he collected specimens of the plant and introduced it to England.[2]
