A reference voltage generating circuit with extremely low temperature dependence is provided. The reference voltage generating circuit includes a BGR circuit which generates a bandgap reference voltage; a bandgap current generating circuit which generates a bandgap current according to the bandgap reference voltage; a PTAT current generating circuit which generates a current proportional to the absolute temperature; and a linear approximate correction current generating circuit which compares the current generated by the PTAT current generating circuit and the bandgap current to generate a correction current, and the BGR circuit adds, to the bandgap reference voltage, a correction voltage generated based on the correction current.
