Disclosed is a magnetic recording medium exhibiting a high C/N ratio in high-density magnetic recording. The magnetic recording medium has, on a flexible nonmagnetic support, at least a nonmagnetic layer containing a nonmagnetic powder and a binder and a magnetic layer containing a ferromagnetic powder and a binder on the nonmagnetic layer, where the magnetic layer has an average thickness d in the range of from 0.01 to 0.3 mum, said nonmagnetic powder has an acicular shape, and the ratio of a mean length L of the major axis of the nonmagnetic powder to an average thickness D of said nonmagnetic layer satisfies the relationship of 1/10<=L/D<=2. |
