In the last decade, interest in the functionalization of surfaces and materials has increased dramatically. In this regard, click chemistry deserves a central focus because of its mild reaction conditions, high efficiency, and easy post‐treatment. Among such novel click reactions, those that do not require any metal catalyst are of special interest, as metals may have undesirable effects in many fields. In this Review, the backgrounds and application of such metal‐free click reactions for the modification of surfaces are highlighted.
