A magnetic recording medium is provided which has smooth and stable running performances and is free of "squeal" phenomenon, especially in an environment of high temperature and high humidity. A highly viscous silicone oil having a viscosity of 100,000 centistokes or more is incorporated in combination with a higher fatty acid ester composed of a higher fatty having a melting point of 44 DEG C. or more and a monohydric alcohol containing 3 to 8 carbon atoms into a magnetic coating layer of the magnetic recording medium. Such silicone oil is represented by the general formula: <IMAGE> wherein R is CH3, R' is CH3, C6H5 or F and n is a number which determines a viscosity thereof. Such higher fatty acid ester is selected from butyl myristate, butyl palmitate, propyl stearate, butyl stearate and the like.
