A magnetic random access memory includes a magnetoresistive element which has a recording layer, a fixed layer, and an intermediate nonmagnetic layer, the recording layer comprising a first ferromagnetic layer formed on the intermediate nonmagnetic layer, a first nonmagnetic layer formed on the first ferromagnetic layer, a second ferromagnetic layer formed on the first nonmagnetic layer and magnetically coupled with the first ferromagnetic layer by first magnetic coupling, a second nonmagnetic layer formed on the second ferromagnetic layer, and a third ferromagnetic layer formed on the second nonmagnetic layer and magnetically coupled with the second ferromagnetic layer by second magnetic coupling, wherein one of a state in which the first magnetic coupling is anti-ferromagnetic coupling and the second magnetic coupling is ferromagnetic coupling, and a state in which the first magnetic coupling is ferromagnetic coupling and the second magnetic coupling is anti-ferromagnetic coupling is obtained.
