Achieving continuous tunability, high efficiency, and outstanding thermal stability of near‐infrared (NIR) phosphors remains challenging for optoelectronic device fields. To address this issue, a strategy is proposed based on the substitution of both cations and anions in the intermediate spinel structure, which successfully achieved fine‐tuning of NIR emission of Mg1+yGa2‐yO4‐yFy:Fe3+ phosphors with prominent optical characteristics. The NIR emission contains new luminescent centers with random O/F coordination and is successfully constructed. This co‐substitution promotes further inversion of the cationic sites and induces atomic disorder, changing the crystal coordination environment and making Fe3+ breakthrough the Laporte selection rule, enabling fine‐tuning of Fe3+ emissions in the range of 707–740 nm and broadening of the full width at half maximum by 30 nm. Moreover, the Mg1.15Ga1.85O3.85F0.15:Fe3+ phosphor reached a high quantum yield of 71.6% and presented excellent thermal stability with an emission intensity retention of 81% at 493 K. The emission of the fabricated NIR phosphor‐converted light‐emitting diodes also matched well with the photosensitive pigment Pfr, demonstrating its feasibility for plant growth lighting applications.
