A magnetic recording medium comprises a magnetic layer, a non-magnetic layer, an undercoat layer, a non-magnetic support, and a back coat layer formed in this order from a surface side toward a back surface side. In the magnetic recording medium, the non-magnetic support comprises a single-layer polyester-based member, and the undercoat layer contains a radiation-curable compound cured by radiation and has a film thickness of 2.0 μm or smaller, and cupping is formed in the magnetic recording medium such that an amount of cupping on the surface side is 0 mm or less. Thus, an inexpensive magnetic recording medium with excellent electromagnetic conversion characteristics can be realized. |
