Organic thermoelectric materials have the potential to be used as power supplies for wearable electronics, implantable medical devices, and sensors in Internet of Things. The past 10 years has witnessed the rapid development of the research on organic thermoelectric materials, different material systems and optimizing strategies are developed, and the ZT values of some organic materials have approached that of many inorganic thermoelectric material systems in the low‐temperature region. Among different material systems, organic composite materials, especially multicomponent organic composite materials show very promising thermoelectric properties and offer more tunability compared to single component thermoelectric materials. Multicomponent organic composite thermoelectric materials can not only further improve the ZT values, but also have unique advantages of combining the merits of different materials, thus rendering the composites with better processing, mechanical, or other properties on demand. This review summarizes the concepts, the design criteria, the research progress of organic–inorganic and all‐organic multicomponent thermoelectric materials which contain three or more different ingredients, as well as their applications. Furthermore, the challenges and prospects are also analyzed to provide guidelines for the development of multicomponent organic composite thermoelectric materials.
