Transition metal oxides (TMOs) simultaneously possessing strong spin‐orbit coupling, near room‐temperature ferromagnetism, and excellent conductivity are scarce while they show great potential applications in oxide spintronics. Here, a TMO with all these features is reported, existing as an interfacial phase in the 4d Ca0.5Sr0.5RuO3 layer sandwiched by two LaMnO3 layers. This phase is well conductive and ferromagnetic in a wide temperature range, with the highest Curie temperature of ≈275 K among the 4d/5d‐TMOs. Particularly, this interfacial phase shows a considerably improved saturation magnetization (≈2 µB/Ru, twice that of the bulk counterpart), and a greatly reduced coercive force. All these features are highly desired by the application of spin‐orbit torque. Due to the presence of strong spin‐orbit coupling, such a Ca0.5Sr0.5RuO3 interfacial phase exhibits a significantly larger anomalous Hall conductivity than the typical 3d oxide ferromagnet La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 near room temperature. Analyses based on the techniques of X‐ray magnetic circular dichroism, polarized‐neutron reflectometry, and scanning transmission electron microscopy reveal a magnetic exchange interaction between the interfacial phases of Ca0.5Sr0.5RuO3 and LaMnO3 and an obvious expansion of the interfacial Mn─O─Mn bond angle, stabilizing the high‐temperature ferromagnetic state of the CSRO/LMO interface.
