Embodiments in accordance with present invention provide a magnetic head and a magnetic disc drive capable of preventing a side erase while providing excellent recording characteristics. According to one embodiment, in order to prevent the side erase in an increased skew angle state, a first magnetic pole surface is formed in such a shape that the projection area of the first magnetic pole surface follows a track edge positioned on the boundary side in the track in the state where the first magnetic pole surface is positioned on the track at the innermost periphery thereof included in a first region. Likewise, to prevent the side erase in the increased skew angle state, a second magnetic pole surface is formed in such a shape that the projection area of the second magnetic pole surface follows a track edge positioned on the boundary side with respect to a track in the state where the second magnetic pole surface is positioned on the track at the outermost periphery thereof included in a second region.
