Abstract

According to one embodiment, a semiconductor memory device includes: a first memory cell; a second memory cell; a first word line; a second word line; and a first bit line. The first memory cell faces the second memory cell. When reading data from the first memory cell, the semiconductor memory device is configured to perform the first operation in which a first voltage is applied to the first word line and a second voltage higher than the first voltage is applied to the second word line, and perform the second operation in which a third voltage higher than the first voltage and a fourth voltage different from the third voltage are applied to the first word line and a fifth voltage lower than the second to the fourth voltage is applied to the second word line.
