A magnetic encoder unit with a small size and low power consumption is provided which can detect an angle in not more than one-turn and an amount of multi-turn. The magnetic encoder unit includes a permanent magnet 2 magnetized in a direction perpendicular to a rotation axis of a rotating member 1 and fixed to the rotating member 1 , a magnetic field detecting element 4 fixed to a fixed member 3 so as to be opposite to the permanent magnet 2 with a gap therebetween, and a signal processing circuit 5 processing a signal from the magnetic field detecting element 4 . Here, multi-turn detecting means including a multi-turn magnetic field detecting element 6 and a multi-turn signal processing circuit 7 detecting an amount of multi-turn from a signal of the multi-turn magnetic field detecting element 6 is added thereto.
