The development of ultrathin, stable ferroelectric materials is crucial for advancing high‐density, low‐power electronic devices. Nonetheless, ultrathin ferroelectric materials are rare due to the critical size effect. Here, a novel ferroelectric material, magnesium molybdenum oxide (Mg 2 Mo 3 O 8 ) is presented. High‐quality ultrathin Mg 2 Mo 3 O 8 crystals are synthesized using chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Ultrathin Mg 2 Mo 3 O 8 has a wide bandgap (≈4.4 eV) and nonlinear optical response. Mg 2 Mo 3 O 8 crystals of varying thicknesses exhibit out‐of‐plane ferroelectric properties at room temperature, with ferroelectricity retained even at a 2 nm thickness. The Mg 2 Mo 3 O 8 exhibits a relatively large remanent polarization ranging from 33 to 52 µC cm − 2 , which is tunable by changing its thickness. Notably, Mg 2 Mo 3 O 8 possesses a high Curie temperature (>980 °C) across various thicknesses. Moreover, the as‐grown Mg 2 Mo 3 O 8 crystals display remarkable stability under harsh environments. This work introduces nolanites‐type crystal into ultrathin ferroelectrics. The scalable synthesis of stable ultrathin ferroelectric Mg 2 Mo 3 O 8 expands the scope of ferroelectric materials and may prosper applications of ferroelectrics.
