In this work, a novel surface molecularly imprinted polymer with high adsorption capacity, high adsorption rate, and high selectivity for fluoroquinolones was prepared on the surface of UiO‐66‐NH2, which is a kind of metal‐organic framework. The surface morphology and adsorption properties of this molecularly imprinted polymer were investigated. The maximum adsorption capacity was 99.19 mg/g, and adsorption equilibrium was achieved within 65 s. Combined with reversed‐phase high‐performance liquid chromatography, the molecularly imprinted polymer was used to selectively enrich, separate and analyze fluoroquinolones present in lake water. The results showed that the recoveries of the four fluoroquinolones were 92.6–100.5%, and the relative standard deviations were 2.9–6.4% (n = 3). The novel molecularly imprinted polymer is an excellent adsorbent and has broad application prospects in the enrichment and separation of trace analytes in complex samples.
