Provided is an axial-gap type rotary electric machine with which leakage flux can be suppressed while maintaining strength. This axial-gap type rotary electric machine is equipped with a stator, a shaft passing through the stator, and rotors opposing the stator, with a gap therebetween in the axial direction. The rotors are equipped with a rotor core, a magnet overlaid on and affixed to the rotor core, and a retaining yoke, which is a magnetic body retaining the rotor core. The retaining yoke has a wall section that is smaller than the thickness of the magnet in the axial direction, and that reinforces the outer periphery of the magnet.
