A martensitic Cr-containing steel having excellent corrosion resistance, SSC resistance, and IGHIC resistance is provided. A martensitic Cr-containing steel according to the present invention includes: a chemical composition consisting of, by mass %, Si: 0.05 to 1.0%, Mn: 0.1 to 1.0%, Cr: 8 to 12%, V: 0.01 to 1.0%, sol. Al: 0.005 to 0.10%, with the balance being Fe and impurities, wherein an effective Cr amount defined by “Cr−16.6×C” is not less than 8%, and an Mo equivalent defined by “Mo+0.5×W” is 0.03 to 2%; a micro-structure wherein a grain size number of prior-austenite crystal grain is not less than 8.0; and a yield strength of less than 379 to 551 MPa, wherein a grain-boundary segregation ratio of Mo and W is not less than 1.5.
