A physical quantity sensor includes a substrate provided with a first fixed electrode, a movable body provided to be swingable with respect to the substrate about a rotation axis along a Y axis, and a stopper restricting rotation of the movable body. The movable body is provided with an elastic portion at a position overlapping the stopper in a plan view viewed from the Z axis direction. The first mass portion includes a first region, and a second region far from the rotation axis. A first gap distance of a first gap between the first mass portion and the first fixed electrode in the first region is smaller than a second gap distance of a second gap between the first mass portion and the first fixed electrode in the second region.
