Multimodal, multipoint sensing and wearability are the impending pursuits of next‐generation flexible electronics. Electronic textiles (e‐textile), known as the convergence of traditional textile technology and burgeoning electrical engineering, have been rapidly exploited evolving fields in electronics, light‐emitting diodes, energy harvesting, and storage devices. Benefiting from their mechanical compliance, comfortable, lightweight, and economically viable features, e‐textiles are attractive for wearing on the soft and curved human body. This study fabricates a textile‐based stretchable sensor by using an electronic dyeing method and the sensor is used for human motion monitoring and analysis. With specific precursor selection and texture regulation, the conductive textile shows good flexibility and adaptable strain–electric response. Combined with the commendable mechanical performance and high durability, the electronic textile sensor can capture and monitor various human activities and distinguish similar motions, which have great potential in biomonitoring, soft co‐robotics, and human–machine interaction.
