A rotary electric machine includes a stator and a rotor located in a rotatable manner relative to the stator via a gap. The stator includes a multi-phase stator winding that is held in a plurality of slots formed in the stator. The rotor includes at least one magnet section embedded therein so as to face the slots. The magnet section includes a plurality of axially laminated magnets with a skew angle which is an angle of a positional difference between the magnets. This skew angle θs is set so as to satisfy θs=kα/2 where α is a slot pitch which is an angle between the slots, and k is a coefficient set based on: an arc ratio θa being an angle covering an area in which magnetic flux radially flows from the magnetic section; and a slot factor S being a ratio of the slots relative to the magnet section.
