Abstract Polarized light detection is attracting increasing attention for its wide applications ranging from optical switches to high‐resolution photodetectors. Two‐dimensional (2D) hybrid perovskite‐type ferroelectrics combining inherent light polarization dependence of bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE) with excellent semiconducting performance present significant possibilities. Now, the BPVE‐driven highly sensitive polarized light detection in a 2D trilayered hybrid perovskite ferroelectric, (allyammonium) 2 (ethylammonium) 2 Pb 3 Br 10 ( 1 ), is presented. It shows a superior BPVE with near‐band gap photovoltage of ca. 2.5 V and high on/off switching ratio of current (ca. 10 4 ). Driven by the superior BPVE, 1 exhibits highly sensitive polarized light detection with a polarization ratio as high as ca. 15, which is far more beyond than those of structural anisotropy‐based monocomponent devices. This is the first realization of BPVE‐driven polarized light detection in hybrid perovskite ferroelectrics.
