The Mg solid-solution ratio determined by the amount of dissolved Mg (mass %)/the Mg content of the alloy (mass %) ’ 100 is 50% or more. The density of an Fe—P-based compound having a particle size of 50 nm or more is 10.00 particles/10 mm2 or less, and the density of an Mg—P-based compound having a particle size of 100 nm or more is 10.00 particles/10 mm2 or less. The Cu—Fe—P—Mg-based copper alloy sheet material is excellent in terms of electrical conductivity, strength, bending workability, and stress relaxation resistance in the case where load stress is applied in a direction perpendicular to both a rolling direction and a sheet thickness direction.
