All‐inorganic halide perovskites appear as a promising class of scintillators for radiation detection applications due to their excellent optoelectronic properties. Herein, a self‐activated perovskite CsEuBr3 single crystal is developed as an efficient X‐ and γ‐ray scintillator. Single crystals of CsEuBr3 are grown by the Bridgman method. The phase structure, stability, photophysics properties, and scintillation performance of CsEuBr3 single crystals are studied. Under X‐ray irradiation, its emission peaks at 445 and 510 nm, associated with Eu2+ 5d–4f and defect‐related emission, respectively, are studied. Under 137Cs gamma irradiation, it has a decent light yield of 22 000 ± 2000 photons MeV−1 and an energy resolution of 6.2 ± 0.4% at 662 keV with a scintillation decay of 510 ns.
