The deterministic rotation of magnetization by electric fields is a challenging issue for future low‐power spintronics. In a Co/0.7Pb(Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 −0.3PbTiO 3 multiferroic heterostructure, piezostrain‐mediated, macroscopically maneuverable, and non‐volatile magnetization reversal without an applied magnetic field is demonstrated. This, combined with the presented phase‐field simulations, is of practical relevance for designing prototype devices.
