Nanodiamonds (NDs) are promising candidates for biomedical application due to their excellent biocompatibility and innate physicochemical properties. In this Concept article, nanodiamond‐based theranostic platforms, which combine both drug delivery features and bioimaging functions, are discussed. The latest developments of therapeutic strategies are introduced and future perspectives for theranostic NDs are addressed.
