Pertumbuhan anak usia 24–59 bulan merupakan periode penting yang dipengaruhi oleh kecukupan asupan zat gizi, salah satunya protein. Kekurangan protein dalam jangka panjang dapat menyebabkan gangguan pertumbuhan linier berupa stunting yang berdampak terhadap kualitas tumbuh kembang anak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan asupan protein dengan status pertumbuhan anak usia 24–59 bulan. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain observasional analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional yang dilakukan di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Bambu Kabupaten Mamuju. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 30 anak usia 24–59 bulan yang dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Data asupan protein diperoleh melalui food record, sedangkan status pertumbuhan diukur menggunakan indikator antropometri berat badan menurut umur (BB/U), tinggi badan menurut umur (TB/U), dan berat badan menurut tinggi badan (BB/TB). Analisis data menggunakan uji Spearman’s Rho dan Fisher’s Exact dengan tingkat kemaknaan ?=0,05. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 70% anak mengalami stunting berdasarkan indikator TB/U, terdiri dari kategori stunted sebesar 50% dan severely stunted sebesar 20%. Terdapat hubungan antara asupan protein dengan BB/U (p=0,05; r=0,593) dan TB/U (p=0,000; r=0,601), sedangkan tidak terdapat hubungan antara asupan protein dengan BB/TB (p=1,000; r=0,023). Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah asupan protein berhubungan dengan status pertumbuhan anak terutama pada indikator TB/U. Pemenuhan protein yang cukup dan berkualitas, terutama protein hewani, perlu menjadi perhatian dalam upaya mendukung pertumbuhan dan mencegah gangguan pertumbuhan pada balita
