According to one embodiment, a semiconductor memory device includes a plurality of first interconnect layers, first and second memory pillars, and a plurality of first plugs. The plurality of first interconnect layers include a first array region where the first memory pillar penetrates the plurality of first interconnect layers, a second array region where the second memory pillar penetrates the plurality of first interconnect layers, and a coupling region where a plurality of coupling parts respectively coupled to the plurality of first plugs are formed. Along a first direction parallel to the semiconductor substrate, the first array region, the coupling region, and the second array region are arranged in order.
