A semiconductor memory device having: a cell array including bit lines, word lines and memory cells disposed at crossings thereof, plural memory cells being connected in series to constitute a NAND cell unit, plural blocks being arranged, each being constituted by plural NAND cell units arranged in the word line direction; and a row decoder configured to select a block, wherein the row decoder includes: transferring transistor arrays disposed in association with the blocks, in each of which transistors are arranged for transferring word line drive voltages; first decode portions disposed in association with the transferring transistor arrays, which are applied with boosted voltages to selectively drive the transferring transistor arrays; and second decode portions configured to select one of the blocks, each of which is disposed to be shared by adjacent two first decode portions.
