  1. Abstract Bioelectrocatalytic synthesis is the conversion of electrical energy into value‐added products using biocatalysts. These methods merge the specificity and selectivity of biocatalysis and energy‐related electrocatalysis to address challenges in the sustainable synthesis of pharmaceuticals, commodity chemicals, fuels, feedstocks and fertilizers. However, the specialized experimental setups and domain knowledge for bioelectrocatalysis pose a significant barrier to adoption. This review introduces key concepts of bioelectrosynthetic systems. We provide a tutorial on the methods of biocatalyst utilization, the setup of bioelectrosynthetic cells, and the analytical methods for assessing bioelectrocatalysts. Key applications of bioelectrosynthesis in ammonia production and small‐molecule synthesis are outlined for both enzymatic and microbial systems. This review serves as a necessary introduction and resource for the non‐specialist interested in bioelectrosynthetic research.
