Provided are a memory element and a memory device. A memory layer is provided with an ion source layer. The ion source layer includes Zr (zirconium), Cu (copper), and Al (aluminum) as a metal element together with an ion conductive material such as S (sulfur), Se (selenium), and Te (tellurium) (chalcogen element). The amount of Al in the ion source layer is 30 to 50 atomic percent. The amount of Zr is preferably 7.5 to 25 atomic percent, and more preferably, the composition ratio of Zr to the chalcogen element in total included in the ion source layer (=Zr (atomic percent)/chalcogen element in total (atomic percent)) falls within a range from 0.2 to 0.74.
