A variable resistance memory device may include a memory unit including a first electrode disposed on a substrate, a variable resistance pattern disposed on the first electrode and a second electrode disposed on the variable resistance pattern, a selection pattern disposed on the memory unit, and a capping structure covering a sidewall of the selection pattern. The capping structure may include a first capping pattern and a second capping pattern sequentially stacked on at least one sidewall of the selection pattern. The first capping pattern may be silicon pattern, and the second capping pattern may include a nitride.
