A level shift circuit which reliably shifts the level of a low-voltage input signal by using a high breakdown voltage element. The level shift circuit includes an input inverter circuit which receives an input signal and inverts the input signal to generate a first inverter signal, a voltage generating circuit which generates at least one intermediate voltage by voltage-dividing a voltage higher than a voltage of the input signal, a level shift inverter circuit which receives the intermediate voltage and the input signal, and an output inverter circuit. The level shift inverter circuit inverts the input signal to generate a level shift signal having an intermediate voltage. The output inverter circuit inverts the level shift signal to generate a level shift output signal.
