A three-dimensional semiconductor memory device includes a cell string vertically extending from a top surface of a substrate and having first and second cell transistors, first and second word lines connected to gate electrodes of the first and second cell transistors respectively, a first pass transistor connecting the first word line to a row decoder, and a second pass transistor connecting the second word line to the row decoder. The first pass transistor includes a plurality of first sub-transistors connected in parallel between the first word line and the row decoder.
