A metal‐free and direct alkene C−H cyanation is described. Directing groups are not required and the mechanism involves electrophilic activation of the alkene by a cyano iodine(III) species generated in situ from a [bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodo]arene and trimethylsilyl cyanide as the cyanide source. This C−H functionalization can be conducted on gram scale, and for noncyclic 1,1‐ and 1,2‐disubstuted alkenes
