Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) with their high pore volumes and chemically‐diverse pore environments have emerged as components of catalytic electrodes for biosensors, biofuel cells, and bioreactors. MOFs are widely exploited for gas capture, separations, and catalysis, but their integration at electrodes with biocatalysts for (bio)electrocatalysis is a niche topic that remains largely unexplored. This review focuses on recent advances in MOF and MOF‐derived carbon electrodes for bioelectrochemical applications. A range of MOF materials and their integration into devices with enzymes and microbes are reported. Key properties and performance characteristics are considered and opportunities facing MOFs for (bio)electrochemical applications are discussed.
