According to one embodiment, a magnetoresistive effect element includes a first magnetic layer including perpendicular anisotropy to a film surface and an invariable magnetization direction, the first magnetic layer having a magnetic film including an element selected from a first group including Tb, Gd, and Dy and an element selected from a second group including Co and Fe, a second magnetic layer including perpendicular magnetic anisotropy to the film surface and a variable magnetization direction, and a nonmagnetic layer between the first magnetic layer and the second magnetic layer. The magnetic film includes amorphous phases and crystals whose particle sizes are 0.5 nm or more.
