The disclosure provides a semiconductor memory device that improves the reliability of data reading and achieves good area efficiency. A variable resistance memory of the disclosure includes a memory array, a row decoder, a column decoder, a writing part, and a reading part. The memory array includes a plurality of memory cells. The row decoder selects the memory cells in a row direction. The column decoder selects the memory cells in a column direction. The writing part writes identical data to a pair of memory cells that is selected. The reading part reads the data stored in the pair of memory cells that is selected. The reading part includes a sense amplifier that compares a total of the currents respectively flowing through the pair of memory cells with a reference value.
