Provided are a metal nitride material for a thermistor, which has a high heat resistance and a high reliability and can be directly deposited on a film or the like without firing, a method for producing the same, and a film type thermistor sensor. The metal nitride material for a thermistor consists of a metal nitride represented by the general formula: (M1−vVv)xAly(N1−wOw)z (where 0.0
