A photographic light-sensitive material composed of a support having a subbing layer and a silver halide emulsion layer formed thereon. The subbing layer comprised of a first subbing layer disposed to the support and a second subbing layer containing (i) a gelatin derivative and/or (ii) a polymer having the recurring unit shown by general formula (I) and/or (II) ##STR1## wherein R is a hydrogen, an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbons, or a halogen; M is hydrogen, an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, or an organic base; X is an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbons, an alkoxy group having 1 to 6 carbons, an alkylamino group having 1 to 6 carbons, or a halogen; m is 0, 1 or 2; and n is 1 or 2 ##STR2## wherein R' is hydrogen or an alkyl group; X' is a hydrogen, a halogen, a nitro group, a cyano group, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, an alkylsulfonyl group, an aryloxy group, an acyl group, an acyloxy group, or an acylamido group; m' is 0, 1 or 2; and n' is 1 or 2.
