A sliding type magnetic head for magneto-optical recording which can prevent a jump thereof caused by a variation in profile of a surface of a disk and can realize reduction of a load force and provide a countermeasure against an external impact. A magnetic head body includes a head element having a coil wound on a magnetic core and has a sliding element provided on one side of the head element for slidably contacting with a magneto-optical disk. The magnetic head body is mounted on a gimbal of a slider arm at a position thereof corresponding to the position of the centre of gravity thereof or to a position in the proximity of the position of the centre of gravity. The slider arm is supported for pivotal motion on a head arm at a position thereof corresponding to the position of the centre of gravity thereof or to a position in the proximity of the position of the centre of gravity. A coil spring is interposed between the head arm and the sliding element of the magnetic head body.
