Drosera nana is a species of sundew endemic to the north of Western Australia and the Northern Territory. It was first described by Allen Lowrie in his 2014 Carnivorous Plants of Australia Magnum Opus.[2] Like other members of Drosera sect. Arachnopus it is an annual therophyte.[3]

The specific epithet nana is from Latin nanus meaning 'dwarf', referring to the small size at maturity of this species compared to others in sect. Arachnopus.[4]
