We report Fe³⁺–Fe⁵⁺ charge order in square-lattice Sr₃Fe₂O₇. The charge order is nearly invisible to state-of-the-art diffraction probes, despite its simple checkerboard structure, large amplitude, and high critical temperature T_CO∼330 K. This arises from the highly-symmetric lattice structure of Sr₃Fe₂O₇, combined with frustration of interlayer Coulomb interactions. We point out parallels to electronic nematicity and hidden order in d- and f-electron compounds with frustrated interactions.
