A semiconductor memory device compensates leakage current. A plurality of memory cells is disposed at intersections of word lines and bit lines. A plurality of dummy cells is connected to at least one dummy bit line. A leakage compensation circuit is connected to the at least one dummy bit line that outputs a leakage compensation current to at least one of the bit lines. A read current supply circuit outputs a read current necessary for a read operation to at least one of the bit lines in response to a first control signal. The memory device is a phase-change memory device containing phase-change material. The semiconductor memory device compensates leakage current in a read operation and supplies the leakage compensation current to a selected bit line, thereby suppressing error operation occurrence caused by leakage current.
