Utricularia simulans, the fringed bladderwort,[1] is a small to medium-sized, probably perennial, species of carnivorous plant in the family Lentibulariaceae.

Utricularia simulans is native to tropical Africa and the Americas.

It grows as a terrestrial plant in damp, sandy soils in open savanna at altitudes from near sea level to 1,575 m (5,167 ft).

U. simulans was originally described and published by Robert Knud Friedrich Pilger in 1914.
