• Solar energy can be utilized in photocatalysis technology to realize light‐driven hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production, a green chemical synthesis route. Designing high‐performance photocatalysts is critical to achieving practical solar H2O2 production. During the past decade, significant research progress is made in photocatalytic materials for H2O2 production. Particularly 2D materials‐based photocatalysts stand out due to their unique physical and chemical properties. This review highlights the intricate relationship between 2D material innovation and photochemical H2O2 production. It starts with the fundamental principles of photochemical H2O2 generation, focusing on crucial steps such as photon absorption, carrier dynamics, surface reactions, and the challenges that 2D materials can solve at each step. Then, various 2D materials‐based photocatalysts for solar H2O2 production are introduced in detail. Engineering strategies to optimize the photocatalytic performance are discussed afterward. Finally, the challenges and future opportunities for designing 2D materials‐based photocatalysts for solar H2O2 production are outlined. This review is expected to inspire the engineering of 2D materials‐based photocatalysts for the green synthesis of H2O2 and the conversion of solar energy to other chemicals. Light‐driven hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production is a  paradigm of green chemical synthesis. This review outlines the latest advancements of 2D materials for solar H2O2 production. It highlights the fundamental principles of H2O2 generation, the unique advantages of 2D materials in overcoming challenges in photocatalysis, the design of 2D photocatalysts for H2O2 synthesis, and future opportunities.
