A magnetic recording medium includes a substrate having a surface where a texture is formed along a recording direction; a first underlayer formed on the surface of the substrate and made of Cr or CrMn; a second underlayer formed on the first underlayer and made of CrMn; a third underlayer formed on the second underlayer and made of Cr-X1 alloy wherein X1 includes a material selected from the group consisting of Mo, Ti, W, V, Ta, and Nb; and a recording layer formed on the third underlayer and made of a ferromagnetic material whose main ingredient is Co; wherein content of Mn of the second underlayer is greater than content of Mn of the first underlayer if the first underlayer is made of CrMn; and a total of film thicknesses of the first underlayer and the second underlayer is in a range between 2 nm and 7 nm.
