Abstract Dynamic covalent polymers have gained more and more attention for their fascinating dynamic features and broad application prospects. As an emerging and powerful synthetic tool, X‐yne click polymerization, mainly including thiol‐yne, amino‐yne and hydroxyl‐yne click polymerizations, has been rapidly developed and widely applied in the preparation of functional polymers in recent years. Moreover, dynamic exchange processes have been successively observed in different X‐yne adducts, and then several dynamic covalent polymers have been obtained by X‐yne click polymerization. The combination of these two aspects not only provides a highly efficient synthetic approach for dynamic covalent polymers, but also further expands the application scope of X‐yne click polymerization, achieving a win–win situation. In this review, we sort out the dynamic exchange mechanisms based on the formation of β ‐heteroatom enolate intermediates and give a detailed account of the progress of dynamic covalent polymers generated from X‐yne click polymerization and their applications in covalent adaptable networks (CANs), self‐healing injectable polymer hydrogels and functional porous polymeric films, etc. The existing deficiencies and future prospects in this field are also discussed.
