• The demand for flexible conductive materials has motivated many recent studies on conductive polymer–based materials. However, the thermal conductivity of conductive polymers is relatively low, which may lead to serious heat dissipation problems for device applications. This review provides a summary of the fundamental principles for thermal transport in conductive polymers and their composites, and recent advancements in regulating their thermal conductivity. The thermal transport mechanisms in conductive polymer–based materials and up‐to‐date experimental approaches for measuring thermal conductivity are first summarized. Effective approaches for the regulation of thermal conductivity are then discussed. Finally, thermal‐related applications and future perspectives are given for conductive polymers and their composites. Conductive polymer–based materials can offer novel applications such as flexible electronics and wearable biosensors. However, their intrinsically low thermal conductivity limits their applications. This review provides a summary of the fundamental principles for thermal transport in conductive polymers and their composites, recent advancements in regulating their thermal conductivity, and their thermal‐related applications.
