The unique properties of hybrid heterostructures have motivated the integration of two or more different types of nanomaterials into a single optoelectronic device structure. Despite the promising features of organic semiconductors, such as their acceptable optoelectronic properties, availability of low‐cost processes for their fabrication, and flexibility, further optimization of both material properties and device performances remains to be achieved. With the emergence of atomically thin 2D materials, they have been integrated with conventional organic semiconductors to form multidimensional heterostructures that overcome the present limitations and provide further opportunities in the field of optoelectronics. Herein, a comprehensive review of emerging 2D–organic heterostructures—from their synthesis and fabrication to their state‐of‐the‐art optoelectronic applications—is presented. Future challenges and opportunities associated with these heterostructures are highlighted. The hybridization of 2D materials and organic materials represents a promising domain for the realization of improved or unprecedented features in comparison to those of semiconductor devices. This comprehensive review focuses on emerging 2D–organic heterostructures (from their synthesis and fabrication to their state‐of‐the‐art optoelectronic applications) and highlights the future challenges and opportunities associated with these heterostructures.
