A negative resist composition comprising: (A) a compound being capable of generating an acid upon irradiation with an actinic ray or a radiation; (B) an alkali-soluble polymer; and (C) at least two crosslinking agents being capable of generating crosslinking with the polymer (B) by an action of an acid, wherein the crosslinking agent (C) comprises at least two compounds having a different skeleton from each other, which are selected from phenol derivatives having at least one of a hydroxymethyl group and an alkoxymethyl group on a benzene ring thereof, in which a sum of the hydroxymethyl group and the alkoxymethyl group is two or more, one of the at least two crosslinking agents comprises one or two benzene rings in the molecule thereof, and other one of the at least two crosslinking agents comprises from 3 to 5 benzene rings in the molecule thereof.
