There is provided a high sensitive magnetic field sensor which has a Josephson junction section (2) using a bismuth 2212 oxide high-temperature superconductor single-crystal (1) and is operated based on a periodical variation in a Josephson vortex flow resistance and in which the variation is caused by an electric current which is passed vertical to a Josephson junction surface and, at the same time, a magnetic field which is applied approximately parallel to the Josephson junction surface. The sensor detects a corresponding magnetic field, using a curve which represents a relation between a Josephson vortex flow resistance and a magnetic field and has been obtained beforehand by measurements, and a resistance value which is measured in a state in which an electric current is passed, and can observe a little change of magnetic field in a high magnetic field area.
