Drosera neesii, the jewel rainbow{{FloraBase|id=3113|name=Drosera neesii}}Erickson, Rica. 1968. Plants of Prey in Australia. Lamb Paterson Pty. Ltd.: Osborne Park, Western Australia. is an erect or twining perennial tuberous species in the carnivorous plant genus Drosera. It is endemic to Western Australia and grows near swamps or granite outcrops in sand, clay, or laterite. D. neesii produces small, cup-shaped carnivorous leaves in groups of three along stems that can be {{convert|15|-|60|cm|in|0|abbr=on}} high. Pink flowers bloom from August to December.

Drosera neesii was first described by Johann Georg Christian Lehmann in 1844. The first infraspecific taxon was described when George Bentham reduced D. sulphurea to a variety, a decision which was later reversed. Then in 1982, N. G. Marchant described a new subspecies, D. neesii subsp. borealis, which is only found in the species' northern range.Schlauer, J. 2009.
