A magneto-optical recording medium (D 1 ) includes a soft magnetic layer ( 2 ) and a magneto-optical recording layer ( 3 ) laminated sequentially onto a substrate ( 1 ) and is provided with a plurality of grooves (G) and lands (L). The product of the saturation magnetic flux density and thickness of the soft magnetic layer ( 2 ) is made different for the respective grooves (G) and lands (L). Thus, with respect to each groove (G) and each land (L), the magnetic focusing effect can be enhanced for one of these with a greater product of saturation magnetic flux density and thickness of the soft magnetic layer ( 2 ), while the effect can be weakened for the other one with a smaller product of saturation magnetic flux density and thickness of the soft magnetic layer. This enables the incidence of cross-writing to be suppressed.
