Provided is a high-strength stainless steel material having less deterioration in mechanical strength and improved workability, particularly bending workability compared with conventional steel materials. The high-strength stainless steel material of the present invention has a specific composition, has a metal microstructure composed of two phases, that is a ferrite phase and a martensite phase, has a γmax of from 50 to 85, the γmax being represented by the following equation (1): γmax=420Wc+470WN+23WNi+7WMn−11.5WCr−11.5WSi+189 (1) wherein, Wc, WN, WNi, WMn, WCr, and WSi; represent contents (unit: mass %) of C, N, Ni, Mn, Cr, and Si relative to the total mass of the stainless steel material, respectively; and has a difference of 300 HV or less in hardness between the ferrite phase and the martensite phase.
