A semiconductor memory device includes a selector line selection circuit for selecting, in a read operation, a selector line for connecting a first main bit line connected to the sense amplifier with a sub-bit line to which the memory cell being read is connected, a selector line for connecting the first main bit line with a sub-bit line of at least one sector different from the sector to which the memory cell being read belongs, a selector line for connecting a second main bit line connected to the sense amplifier with a sub-bit line to which the reference cell is connected, and a selector line for connecting the second main bit line with a sub-bit line of at least one sector different from the sector to which the memory cell being read belongs.
