Surface‐active artificial enzymes (SAEs) are designed and constructed by a general and novel strategy. These SAEs can simultaneously stabilize Pickering emulsions and catalyze biphasic biotransformation with superior enzymatic stability and good re‐usability; for example, for the interfacial conversion of hydrophobic p ‐nitrophenyl butyrate into yellow water‐soluble p ‐nitrophenolate catalyzed by esterase‐mimic SAE.
