A high-strength hot-dip galvanized steel sheet containing a main component, the steel sheet having at least 40 wt.% of ferrite as a main phase in terms of the volumetric ratio, and 8-60% inclusive of residual austenite, the remaining structure comprising one or more of bainite, martensite, or pearlite. Austenite particles within a range where the average residual stress (sigmaR) thereof satisfies the expression -400MPa<=sigmaR<=200MPa (formula (1)) are present in an amount of 50% or more in the hot-dip galvanized steel sheet. The surface of the steel sheet has a hot-dip galvanized layer containing less than 7 wt.% of Fe, the remainder comprising Zn, Al and inevitable impurities.
