The precise functionalization of self‐assembled nanostructures with spatial and stereocontrol is a major objective of nanotechnology and holds great promise for many applications. Herein, the nanoscale addressability of DNA origami was exploited to develop a precise copy‐machine‐like platform that can transfer two‐dimensional oligonucleotide patterns onto the surface of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) through a deliberately designed toehold‐initiated DNA displacement reaction. This strategy of DNA‐origami‐based nanoimprinting lithography (DONIL) demonstrates high precision in controlling the valence and valence angles of AuNPs. These DNA‐decorated AuNPs act as precursors in the construction of discrete AuNP clusters with desired chirality.
