Neottia confusa is a critically endangered species of orchid endemic to northeastern India. It was found in three small clusters in temperate and subalpine forests in the Dihang-Dibang Biosphere Reserve. Discovered in 2010 and described in 2012, it was named for its small, undivided lip, atypical among other Neottia species.
Neottia confusa is known only from the type locality, a region occupying 4 square kilometres (1.5 sq mi) in the Dihang-Dibang Biosphere Reserve in the Upper Siang district of Arunachal Pradesh. The area has an elevation of 3,200–3,800 metres (10,500–12,500 ft) and is located within the temperate to subalpine biome. It grows in moist moss on the forest floor alongside other herbaceous plants, including Neottia acuminata and Juncus, with an canopy dominated by Rhododendron and Abies.
