The present invention provides a thin and flexible electromagnetic wave shielding material having excellent electromagnetic wave shielding properties and mainly usable in electronic equipment. The electromagnetic wave shielding sheet according to the present invention is composed of a porous sheet containing one or plural kinds of metallic fibers, or a sintered porous sheet obtained by sintering the above porous sheet. The sheet has a thickness of 10 to 100 &mgr;m. a porosity of 70 to 95% and Gurley stiffness of 5 to 50 mg. The sheet can be made by, for example, using stainless steel fiber as the metallic fiber in accordance with a wet paper making process.
