A completely contractive Banach algebra is an algebra with an operator space structure such that the multiplication is a completely contractive bilinear map. In this paper, the authors introduce the notion of operator ultra-amenability for completely contractive Banach algebras. If \(G\) is an arbitrary locally compact group, it is proved that operator ultra-amenability of the Fourier algebra of \(G\) implies that \(G\) is amenable and discrete with no abelian infinite subgroup. In the case where \(G\) is a locally finite group, a linear group or an elementary amenable group, it forces \(G\) to be finite.
