A transition‐metal‐free catalytic hydrodefluorination (HDF) reaction of polyfluoroarenes is described. The reaction involves direct hydride transfer from a hydrosilicate as the key intermediate, which is generated from a hydrosilane and a fluoride salt. The eliminated fluoride regenerates the hydrosilicate to complete the catalytic cycle. Dispersion‐corrected DFT calculations indicated that the HDF reaction proceeds through a concerted nucleophilic aromatic substitution (CS N Ar) process.
