We have investigated the pressure effect on magnetic orderings in triangular lattice antiferromagnet CuFeO up to 3.2 GPa, by means of neutron diffraction experiments with the hybrid-anvil-cell. The magnetic ground state of CuFeO with = (1/4, 1/4, 3/2) in ambient pressure is changed in to the other magnetic state under pressure. In the pressure induced phase, we observed the magnetic reflections at (, , 3/2) and (1-, 1-, 3/2), 0.2 at 3.2 GPa and 1.5 K, which are the identical positions to those in field-induced or nonmagnetic impurity-induced noncollinear magnetic phase with ferroelectric polarization. This might suggest that pressure induces the ferro- electric phase in CuFeO.
