Supramolecular hydrogels can be obtained via self‐assembly of small molecules in aqueous environments. In this study, we describe the development of oxidation‐responsive supramolecular hydrogels comprising glucosamine derivatives with an aryl sulfide group. We demonstrate that hydrogen peroxide can induce a gel–sol transition through the oxidation of the sulfide group to the corresponding sulfoxide. Furthermore, we show that this oxidation responsiveness can be extended to photo‐responsiveness with the aid of a photosensitizer.
