A magnetic random access memory includes a magnetoresistive effect element which has a fixed layer, a recording layer and a non-magnetic layer provided between the fixed layer and the recording layer and in which the magnetization directions of the fixed layer and the recording layer are brought into a parallel state or an anti-parallel state in accordance with a direction of a current flowing between the fixed layer and the recording layer, a first contact which is connected to the recording layer and in which a contact area between the recording layer and the first contact is smaller than an area of the recording layer, and a cap layer which is provided between the first contact and the recording layer and which directly comes in contact with the first contact and which has a resistance higher than a resistance of the recording layer.
