A ferritic stainless steel sheet excellent in press formability and operability, characterized by: containing appropriate amounts of C, N, Cr, Si, Mn, P, S, Al, Ti and V, with the balance consisting of Fe and unavoidable impurities; having a solid lubricating film or films on one or both of the surfaces; and having a ratio Z, defined as Z=Z.sub.1/Z.sub.2, of less than 0.5, a tensile strength of 450 MPa or less and an average r-value of 1.7 or more, wherein Z.sub.1 is a friction coefficient of the surface of a solid lubricating film and Z.sub.2 that of the surface of a reference material coated with neither a coating nor lubricating oil. In the ferritic stainless steel sheet, the amounts of Sol-Ti and Insol-V may be regulated to appropriate ranges, wherein Sol-Ti means the amount of Ti existing in the state of solid solution in steel and Insol-V means the amount of V existing in the state of precipitation in steel.
