<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>We present the fabrication of TiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> nanotube electrodes with high biocompatibility and extraordinary spectroscopic properties. Intense surface‐enhanced resonance Raman signals of the heme unit of the redox enzyme Cytochrome b<jats:sub>5</jats:sub> were observed upon covalent immobilization of the protein matrix on the TiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> surface, revealing overall preserved structural integrity and redox behavior. The enhancement factor could be rationally controlled by varying the electrode annealing temperature, reaching a record maximum value of over 70 at 475 °C. For the first time, such high values are reported for non‐directly surface‐interacting probes, for which the involvement of charge‐transfer processes in signal amplification can be excluded. The origin of the surface enhancement is exclusively attributed to enhanced localized electric fields resulting from the specific optical properties of the nanotubular geometry of the electrode.</jats:p>
