PURPOSE: To provide the silver halide photographic sensitive material which is stable during preservation, decreases after-color after development processing and is photosensitive to infrared.

CONSTITUTION: At least one kind of the dyes expressed by formula are incorporated into this photosensitive material. In the formula, Y1, Y2 denote a chalcogen atom, -CH=CH- group; Z1, Z2 denote the nonmetal atom group for forming a benzo-condensed ring or naphtho-condensed ring; R1, R2 denote an alklyl group; denotes a methine group; at least one piece of L denote a -OR12 group (R12 is an alkyl group or aryl group substd. with an acidic substituent), a methine group substd. with-N(R12)(R13) group (R12 is synonym with the above- mentioned groups; R13 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group or aryl group substd. with an acidic substituent), etc.; X denotes anion; p denotes 0 or 1; r denotes 0 or 1; m denotes 2 or 3; n denotes 1 or 2; n is 1 when the dyes form an intramolecular salt. The dyes have at least three pieces of the acidic substituents in the dye molecule.
