A magnetic memory element includes: a first magnetization free layer formed of a ferromagnetic material having perpendicular magnetic anisotropy; a second magnetization free layer provided near the first magnetization free layer and formed of a ferromagnetic material having in-plane magnetic anisotropy; a reference layer formed of a ferromagnetic material having in-plane magnetic anisotropy; and a non-magnetic layer provided between the second magnetization free layer and the reference layer. The first magnetization free layer includes: a first magnetization fixed region of which magnetization is fixed, a second magnetization fixed region of which magnetization is fixed, and a magnetization free region which is connected to the first magnetization fixed region and the second magnetization fixed region, and of which magnetization can be switched. The second magnetization free layer is included in the first magnetization free layer in a plane parallel to a substrate. The second magnetization free layer is provided in a first direction away from the magnetization free region in the plane.
