Sr₂RuO₄, an unconventional superconductor, is known to possess an incommensurate spin-density wave instability driven by Fermi surface nesting. Here we report a static spin-density wave ordering with a commensurate propagation vector q_c = (0.250.250) in Fe-doped Sr₂RuO₄, despite the magnetic fluctuations persisting at the incommensurate wave vectors q_ic = (0.30.3L) as in the parent compound. The latter feature is corroborated by the first-principles calculations, which show that Fe substitution barely changes the nesting vector of the Fermi surface. Finally, these results suggest that in addition to the known incommensurate magnetic instability, Sr₂RuO₄ is also in proximity to a commensurate magnetic tendency that can be stabilized via Fe doping.
