We report a facile chemical method for fabricating holey graphene by catalytic oxidation of highly ordered pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) using an Fe III porphyrin complex‐based covalent organic framework (COF) as a bifunctional surface catalyst–template. We demonstrate regular hole formation after oxidation with H 2 O 2 and NaOCl, COF removal, and HOPG exfoliation.
