Abstract

A magnetic-disk glass substrate has a circular center hole, a pair of main surfaces and an edge surface. The edge surface has a side wall surface and chamfered surfaces interposed between the side wall surface and the main surfaces, and a roundness of an edge surface on an outer circumferential side is 1.5 μm or less. Also, a midpoint A between centers of two least square circle respectively derived from outlines in a circumferential direction respectively obtained at two positions spaced apart by 200 μm in a substrate thickness direction on the side wall surface on the outer circumferential side, and centers B and C respectively derived from a respective one of two chamfered surfaces on the outer circumferential side in the substrate thickness direction, are located such that a sum of respective distances between A and B, and A and C, is 1 μm or less.
