Biologically inspired biophotonic surfaces with self‐antireflection for highly sensitive biosensing and bioimaging are reported. The effective index of large‐area glass nanopillar arrays spontaneously meets an antireflection condition when a solution with diverse index surrounds the nanopillars. The bio‐inspired biophotonic surfaces enable not only highly intense fluorescence or surface enhanced Raman scattering but also high contrast imaging due to the self‐antireflection.
