To provide a photosensitive silver halide material improved for rapid processing.

This black-and-white photographic sensitive material has at least one nonphotosensitive layer containing a hydrophilic polymer weighing to 0.1-0.9 g/m2 and a total weight of A, and at least one photosensitive silver halide emulsion layer weighing to 1-2 g/m2 and a total weight of B, and at least one nonphotosensitive layer containing a hydrophilic polymer weighing to 0.5-1.6 g/m2 and a total weight of C, and 0≤A/B≤0.6 and 0.7≤B/C≤2.25, and the total weight of the hydrophilic polymer is ≤3 (g), and the total amount of the silver halide is <0.05 mol, and both data are based on values on one side of a substrate and per 1 m2. The layers are laminated in this order on the substrate.
