A semiconductor memory device according to an embodiment comprises: a memory cell array including memory cells, each of the memory cells disposed at each of intersections of first lines and second lines and including a variable resistor; and a control circuit configured to apply a first voltage to a selected first line and to apply a second voltage having a voltage value which is smaller than that of the first voltage to a selected second line, such that a selected memory cell is applied with a first potential difference required in an operation of the selected memory cell. The control circuit is configured such that when the first potential difference is applied a plurality of times to a plurality of the selected memory cells to execute the operation, the number of selected memory cells simultaneously applied with the first potential difference can be changed. |
