Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Stable ion‐exchange doping of organic semiconductor single crystals is demonstrated using bulky hydrophobic anions. Electrical conductivity is significantly enhanced and maintained under ambient air and elevated temperatures, while intrinsic strain sensitivity remains intact over 100 000 strain cycles. The approach highlights the critical role of anion
