A direct, metal‐free, and oxidant‐free method for the graphene oxide (GO)‐catalyzed iodination of arenes and ketones with iodine in a neutral medium was explored. This iodination protocol was performed by using a simple technique to avoid the use of external metal catalysts and oxidants and harsh acidic/basic reaction conditions. In addition, by this method the degree of iodination could be controlled, and the reaction was scalable and compatible with air. This strategy opens a new field for GO‐catalyzed chemistry and provides an avenue for the convenient direct iodination of arenes and ketones.
