A magneto-optical recording medium includes an optically transparent substrate, a first magnetic layer having a compensation temperature between room temperature and a Curie temperature thereof, and a second magnetic layer including a perpendicular magnetic layer. The first magnetic layer is a magnetic film which is located on the side of the substrate with respect to the second magnetic layer and which is an in-plane magnetic layer at room temperature and turns into a perpendicular magnetic layer between room temperature and the Curie temperature of the second magnetic layer. The magnetic film has in-plane anisotropy increasing continuously or stepwise along a direction of a film thickness from the side of the substrate.
