Abstract
A semiconductor memory device according to an embodiment includes: a memory cell array including a plurality of first lines, a plurality of second lines, and memory cells disposed at each of intersections of the first lines and the second lines; and a control circuit configured to apply a first voltage to a selected first line, apply a second voltage having a voltage value which is smaller than that of the first voltage to a selected second line, and apply a third voltage and a fourth voltage to a non-selected first line and a non-selected second line, respectively. The control circuit is configured to apply a fifth voltage to one of the non-selected first lines that is adjacent to the selected first line, and apply a sixth voltage to one of the non-selected second lines that is adjacent to the selected second line.
