To provide a magnetic recording medium having a thin magnetic layer, which has both excellent electromagnetic conversion characteristics and good running properties. An intermediate layer containing a binder and an inorganic powder is coated on one side of a nonmagnetic support, dried and then coated on the layer, and a magnetic layer containing a ferromagnetic powder and a binder is provided. And a magnetic recording medium having a back coat layer containing carbon black and / or inorganic powder on the other surface. The thickness of the magnetic layer is in the range of 0.01 to 0.15 μm, and the back coat layer contains a lubricant, thereby providing a magnetic recording medium having good reproduction output and excellent durability.
