Reversible switching of water‐droplet adhesion between sliding and pinned states on a highly porous superhydrophobic polythiophene film is realized by adjusting electric potential. This large‐area superhydrophobic polythiophene film is prepared readily by using a versatile electrodeposition method. Electrochromism along with reversible water‐droplet adhesion switching of the film is also demonstrated.
