Ammonia, with its high hydrogen density and carbon‐free nature, serves as ideal fuel for direct ammonia protonic ceramic fuel cells (DA‐PCFCs). However, conventional Ni‐based anodes suffer from slow NH 3 decomposition processes and Ni particle sintering, resulting in reduced activity and low stability in DA‐PCFCs. Here, an FeNi catalyst supported on proton‐conducting BaZr 0.8 Y 0.2 O 3‐δ (FN/BZY) is designed, revealing a distinct NH 3 decomposition pathway on the protonic support. The notable metal–support interaction in FN/BZY accelerates N–H bond cleavage and H* species migration, thereby suppressing intermediate accumulation and sustaining continuous hydrogen evolution. Consequently, FN/BZY achieves 85% NH 3 conversion at 525 °C under a gas hourly space velocity of 48 000 mL g cat −1 h −1 . When integrated into a DA‐PCFC, the cell exhibits a peak power density of 963 mW cm −2 at 650 °C and remains stable for 350 h at 600 °C. This work reveals that basic proton‐conductive supports fundamentally increase NH 3 decomposition, thus offering a rational strategy for designing durable and high‐performance anode catalytic layers in DA‐PCFCs.
