    Hole‐transporting layers (HTLs) are an essential component in inverted, p–i–n perovskite solar cells (PSCs) where they play a decisive role in extraction and transport of holes, surface passivation, perovskite crystallization, device stability, and cost. Currently, the exploration of efficient, stable, highly transparent and low‐cost HTLs is of vital importance for propelling p–i–n PSCs toward commercialization. Compared to their inorganic counterparts, organic HTLs offer multiple advantages such as a tunable bandgap and energy level, easy synthesis and purification, solution processability, and overall low cost. Here, recent progress of organic HTLs, including conductive polymers, small molecules, and self‐assembled monolayers, as utilized in inverted PSCs is systematically reviewed and summarized. Their molecular structure, hole‐transport properties, energy levels, and relevant device properties and resulting performances are presented and analyzed. A summary of design principles and a future outlook toward highly efficient organic HTLs in inverted PSCs is proposed. This review aims to inspire further innovative development of novel organic HTLs for more efficient, stable, and scalable inverted PSCs. Inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs) attract great attention due to their low‐temperature processing, negligible hysteresis, and superior stability. For these devices, hole‐transport layers play a decisive role in carrier extraction, transport, and perovskite crystallization. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the structural engineering of organic hole‐transport layers utilized in inverted PSCs including conductive polymers, small molecules, and emerging self‐assembled monolayers.
