A reliable magnetic recording medium is provided which comprises a servo signal unit portions formed in a concavo-convex shape, easily produced, and resistant to tracking error. Also provided are a magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus which incorporates the magnetic recording medium, and a stamper for manufacturing the magnetic recording medium with efficiency. The magnetic recording medium includes a recording layer divided into a plurality of data areas and a plurality of servo areas to record information. The recording layer is formed in a concavo-convex shape in each servo area, with a servo signal unit portions formed as either a convex portions or a concave portions of the concavo-convex shape. Of the servo signal unit portions, the burst signal unit portion for tracking is generally elliptical in shape when viewed from the direction of thickness.
