Bulbophyllum fenestratum is a species of orchid that is endemic to Southeast Asia. It is a small epiphyte with a single erect, egg-shaped leaf with the lower end towards the base, and seven to fifteen flowers about 10 mm (0.4 in) long on a peduncle 80–120 mm (3.1–4.7 in) long, each flower on a pedicel about the same length.[3][4]

Bulbophyllum fenestratum was first formally described in 1907 by Johannes Jacobus Smith in the Bulletin du Département de l'Agriculture aux Indes Néerlandaises.[2][3] It grows in forest at altitudes between 100 and 1,100 m (330 and 3,610 ft) in Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, Java and Borneo.[2][4]
