A magnetoresistive element includes a first electrode, a second electrode, a first magnetic layer, a second magnetic layer, a spacer layer, an oxide layer, and a metal layer. The oxide layer is provided between the first electrode and the first magnetic layer, or within the first magnetic layer, or between the first magnetic layer and the spacer layer, or within the spacer layer, or between the spacer layer and the second magnetic layer, or within the second magnetic layer, or between the second magnetic layer and the second electrode. The oxide layer includes at least one element of Zn, In, Sn, and Cd, and at least one element of Fe, Co, and Ni. The metal layer includes at least one element of Zn, In, Sn, and Cd by not less than 5 at % and not more than 80 at %, and at least one element of Fe, Co, and Ni.
