A rotor (10) of a buried magnet-type electric motor, wherein the magnetic poles thereof are each constituted by two rows of magnets (M1, M2) of the same pole, wherein a core portion (12) between magnet slots of the same pole is arranged between the magnet slots (31, 32) in which the two rows of magnets are arranged, and wherein, of the edges constituting said magnet slots, the portions connecting the edges (31a, 32a) on the inner side in the radial direction to the outer edges of the core portion between the magnet slots of the same pole, have curved portions (41, 42) that connect a curve of a small curvature to a curve of a large curvature starting from the edges on the inner side in the radial direction and heading toward the outer edges of the core portion between the magnet slots of the same pole.
