Motivated by their unique structure and excellent properties, significant progress has been made in recent years in the development of graphene‐based fibers (GBFs). Potential applications of GBFs can be found, for instance, in conducting wires, energy storage and conversion devices, actuators, field emitters, solid‐phase microextraction, springs, and catalysis. In contrast to graphene‐based aerogels (GBAs) and membranes (GBMs), GBFs demonstrate remarkable mechanical and electrical properties and can be bent, knotted, or woven into flexible electronic textiles. In this review, the state‐of‐the‐art of GBFs is summarized, focusing on their synthesis, performance, and applications. Future directions of GBF research are also proposed.
