The development of efficient catalytic systems is a fundamental aspect for the straightforward production of chemicals. During the last years, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) emerged as an exciting class of organic nanoporous materials. Due to their pre‐designable structure, they can be prepared with distinct physicochemical characteristics, specific pore sizes, and tunable functional groups. Moreover, associated with their stability in different media, these materials are considered promising supports for enzyme immobilization. Herein, it is highlighted the recent literature of enzyme immobilization in COFs, the main immobilization strategies, and the catalytic applications of these composites.
