Magnetoelectric properties of multiferroic TbMnO 3 with a cycloidal spiral spin order were investigated as functions of applied pressure and magnetic field. We found that a flop of ferroelectric polarization occurs by applying a magnetic field along the a axis under 2-3 GPa below the Néel temperature of Tb moments. A possible origin of the magnetoelectric transition is discussed based on the observed pressure and magnetic-field profiles of the ferroelectric polarization and the dielectric relaxation. This flop would originate from the 90 rotation of the cycloidal spiral plane from the bc plane to the ab plane.
