A combination of an N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand and a structurally simple surfactant has been realized, the hybrid surfactant–NHC. The related gold complex was synthesized, fully characterized, and applied in catalysis. This remarkably simple strategy allows, in combination with a co‐surfactant, the application of gold catalysis in water.
