The purpose of the present invention is to provide a thermosensitive recording medium with an increased gloss in the blank and printed portions, excellent color developing sensitivity and excellent printing run-ability, particularly excellent printing run-ability at high-speed printing. Provided is a thermosensitive recording medium having a thermosensitive recording layer comprising a colorless or pale colored basic leuco dye and an electron accepting color developing agent, an intermediate layer and a gloss layer as an outermost layer in this order on a substrate, wherein the intermediate layer is formed by containing a carboxyl group-containing resin and the gloss layer is formed by containing a long chain alkyl group-containing resin and an emulsion type silicone copolymer resin. The long chain alkyl group-containing resin is preferably an acrylic resin containing long-chain alkyl group(s) and the silicone copolymer resin is preferably a silicone-acryl copolymer resin and/or a silicone-urethane copolymer resin.
