A semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array having a plurality of memory cells arranged in a shape of a matrix along a plurality of parallel bit lines and a plurality of word lines intersecting orthogonally to the bit lines, and that have their data read out to the bit lines; a sense amplifier which detects a voltage or a current of the bit line and decides the read data from each of the memory cells; a clamping transistor connected between the sense amplifier and the bit lines to determine a voltage in a charging mode of the bit lines by a clamp voltage applied to a gate thereof; and a clamp voltage generation circuit which generates the clamp voltage so as to become larger as a distance from the sense amplifier to a selected one of the memory cells is longer.
