PURPOSE: To obtain the silver halide photographic sensitive material high in sensitivity and small in fog and prevented from the fluctuation of photographic characteristics with the lapse of time in storage by incorporating a specified compound in a silver halide emulsion layer containing a biequivalent coupler.

CONSTITUTION: The silver halide photographic sensitive material has at least one photosensitive silver halide emulsion layer on a support, and at least one of the emulsion layers contains at least one kind of biequivalent coupler and this layer or another hydrophilic colloidal layer relating in water permeability to this layer contains at least one kind of compound represented by the formula in which B is -NHSO2-; M is an H or alkali atom or a quaternary ammonium group; and each of A1 and A2 is an optionally substituted aromatic group.
