"Nepenthes mira" was formally described by Matthew Jebb and Martin Cheek in 1998. The authors suggest that "N. mira" is related to the Bornean species "N. edwardsiana", "N. macrophylla", and "N. villosa". In his Carnivorous Plant Database, taxonomist Jan Schlauer treats this species as a heterotypic synonym of "N. deaniana".
