A heat-sensitive recording material includes a heat-sensitive recording layer containing a basic dye and a developer and provided on a supporting body, in which the developer is at least one type of an N-substituted amino acid derivative represented by the following General Formula: (R-X) m -Y-(Z) m ... (1) (In Formula (1), R represents an alkyl group or an aryl group which may have a substituent. X is a group bonded to the N-terminus of Y, and represents -OCO-, -SO 2 NHCO-, -NHCO-, -NHCS-, or -SO 2 -. Y represents an amino acid residue or a peptide residue. Z represents a group bonded to the C-terminus of Y and represents an OH group or an OR" group. When Y is an amino acid residue other than a cystine residue or when Y is a peptide residue not having a cystine residue, m = 1, and when Y is a peptide residue having n cystine residues, m = n + 1 and n is 1 or 2.)
