An object of this invention is to impart excellent flame retardancy to an aromatic polyamide resin without use of a halogen compound which is responsible for generation of gases harmful to the human body and without decreasing preferred properties (e.g. mechanical properties, and molding processability) inherently possessed by aromatic polyamide resins, the flame-retardant aromatic polyamide resin composition of this invention comprising (a) 100 parts by weight of an aromatic polyamide resin, (b) 0.1 to 100 parts by weight of a crosslinked phosphazene compound which is a compound crosslinked with a crosslinking group, such as phenylene groups, the crosslinking group being interposed between the two oxygen atoms left after the elimination of phenyl groups from the phosphazene compound, no free hydroxyl group being present in the molecule, the amount of all phenyl groups in the crosslinked compound being 50 to 99.9% based on the total amount of the phenyl groups in the phosphazene compounds, (c) 1 to 60 parts by weight of an inorganic fibrous substance and (d) 1 to 60 parts by weight of magnesium hydroxide.
