A refrigerator includes a refrigerator body; a refrigerator door coupled to the refrigerator body so as to be opened and closed; and a gasket mounted on either the door or the body. The gasket has a magnet therein so as to hold the door closed against the refrigerator body. The gasket has at least one shielding portion that extends from an edge of the gasket. The sealing portion is configured to be elastically deformed when the refrigerator door is closed, which enhances the sealing action of the gasket. As a result, even if the magnet has a weak magnetic force due to age or the sealing surface is no longer flat, a sealing force is reinforced by the shielding portion. Accordingly, cool air inside the refrigerator is prevented from leaking out, and external warm air is prevented from being introduced into the refrigerator.
