According to one embodiment, a semiconductor memory device includes a first interconnect, a second interconnect, a first fringe and a second fringe. The first interconnect is connected to a first memory cell. The second interconnect is connected to a second memory cell and is arranged at a first interval from the first interconnect in a first direction. The first fringe is formed on one end of the first interconnect. The second fringe is formed on one end of the second interconnect. The first fringe and the second fringe are arranged at the first interval in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction.
