On an information recording medium, a data track pattern and a servo pattern composed of a concave/convex pattern including a plurality of convex parts are formed on at least one surface of a substrate and respective concave parts in the concave/convex pattern are filled with non-magnetic material. In the concave/convex pattern that constructs the data track pattern, the respective convex parts are formed concentrically or in a spiral. In the concave/convex pattern that constructs the servo pattern, a unit convex part length along a direction of rotation of the substrate is set so that a value produced by dividing the unit convex part length by a distance from a center of the data track pattern decreases from an inner periphery to an outer periphery.
