印度豬籠草[3]（學名：Nepenthes khasiana），又名卡西豬籠草，是印度特有的熱帶食蟲植物。[3]其種加詞來源於卡西丘陵。其被認為是以其藍色的螢光來吸引獵物的。[4]

印度豬籠草分布局限，在野外非常罕見。僅存在於嘉潤地區（Jarain）的賈因蒂亞丘陵（Jaintia Hills）及巴馬拉地區（Baghmara）的加羅丘陵，其與梅加拉亞邦的卡西丘陵相鄰。[5]
卡西人稱其為「tiew-rakot」，意為「惡魔之花」或「吞噬植物」，賈因蒂亞人稱其為「kset phare」，意為「有蓋的捕蠅網」。加羅人則稱其為「memang-koksi」，意為「惡魔的籃子」。[6]
印度豬籠草與馬來王豬籠草（N. rajah）一起被列入《瀕危野生動植物種國際貿易公約》的附錄一中。
2010年，珍稀豬籠草採集（Rare Nepenthes Collection）項目成立，以保護4種極其瀕危的豬籠草屬物種：馬兜鈴豬籠草（N. aristolochioides）、圓盾豬籠草（N. clipeata）、印度豬籠草和硬葉豬籠草（N. rigidifolia）。[7][8][9]
印度豬籠草的種加詞在一些早先的文章中寫為「khasyana」。[10][11]這種寫法在約瑟夫·道爾頓·胡克1873年的專著《豬籠草》中就已出現了[2]，之後又出現於馬克斯韋爾·T·馬斯特斯在1872年4月20日《園丁紀事與農業公報》的文章中[11]。在19世紀後期的園藝貿易中，印度豬籠草常與滴液豬籠草（N. distillatoria）混淆。[11][12][13][14]
