The present invention provides a high recording density magnetic recording medium with improved dropout and excellent surface smoothness and electromagnetic conversion characteristics, as well as a process for producing such a medium. A magnetic recording medium comprising a lower non-magnetic layer containing at least a non-magnetic powder and a binder resin on one surface of a non-magnetic support, an upper magnetic layer containing at least a ferromagnetic powder and a binder resin on said lower non-magnetic layer, and a back coat layer on an opposite surface of said non-magnetic support, wherein said lower non-magnetic layer contains an acicular powder of hydrated iron oxide as the non-magnetic powder, said ferromagnetic powder has an average long axial length of 0.1 mum or less, and said upper magnetic layer has a surface roughness (center line average roughness: Ra) of 2.4 nm or less. After curing the lower non-magnetic layer, the magnetic layer is applied and formed.
