A magnetic sensor includes first to fourth resistor sections and a plurality of MR elements. Each of the plurality of MR elements belongs to any of first to fourth groups. The first to fourth groups are defined based on the areas of top surfaces of the MR elements. The first resistor section, the second resistor section, the third resistor section, and the fourth resistor section are constituted of the first group, the second group, the third group, and the fourth group, respectively; the second group, the first group, the fourth group, and the third group, respectively; the first group, the fourth group, the third group, and the second group, respectively; or the third group, the second group, the first group, and the fourth group, respectively.
