Prevalensi kejadian stunting pada anak balita masih memerlukan perhatian serius. Kejadian stunting dipengaruhi oleh berbagai faktor salah satunya peran anggota keluarga dalam pengasuhan termasuk ayah dan praktik pemberian makan. Penelitian yang dilakukan bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan peran ayah dan praktik pemberian makan dengan kejadian stunting pada balita di Kota Depok. Desain penelitian ini menggunakan desain deskriptif korelasi dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Pengambilan sampel penelitian menggunakan teknik non- probability sampling dengan metode purposive sampling. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada 111 responden di 3 Puskesmas dengan tingkat stunting tertinggi di Kota Depok. Hasil penelitian yang di analisis dengan uji chi square menunjukkan tidak ada hubungan yang signifikan antara peran ayah dengan kejadian stunting (p value = 0,683 ; α=0,05). Hasil penelitian yang dianalisis dengan uji independent t-test menunjukkan ada hubungan signifikan anatara praktik pemberian makan dengan kejadian stunting (p value = 0,004; α = 0,05). Program kerja yang telah dilaksanakan seperti “Alarm Stunting” kurang melibatkan ayah dalam proses pelaksanaannya, sehingga hasil penelitian ini diharapkan dapat menjadi saran bagi perawat dan tenaga kesehatan di puskesmas untuk melaksanakan program pencegahan stunting dengan melibatkan peran keluarga seperti ayah dalam pemenuhan gizi balita.
