The series arm resonators and the parallel arm resonator are defined by acoustic wave resonators, an interdigital transducer electrode of the series arm resonators is an apodized interdigital transducer electrode subjected to apodization weighting, in the interdigital transducer electrode of the parallel arm resonator, an intersecting portion includes a central region and low acoustic velocity regions provided at both outer side portions of the central portion, an acoustic velocity of an acoustic wave in the low acoustic velocity region is lower than an acoustic velocity of an acoustic wave in the central region, and a high acoustic velocity region where an acoustic velocity of an acoustic wave is higher than that of the low acoustic velocity region is provided at an outer side portion of each of the low acoustic velocity regions.

An acoustic wave filter device includes a piezoelectric layer, a high-acoustic-velocity member, a low-acoustic-velocity film between the high-acoustic-velocity member and the piezoelectric layer, and first and second IDT electrodes on the piezoelectric layer to define acoustic wave resonators. An acoustic wave resonator of a series-arm resonator portion closest to an antenna end and/or an acoustic wave resonator of a parallel-arm resonator portion closest to the antenna end includes the first IDT electrode including first and second electrode fingers, and the remaining acoustic wave resonators include the second IDT electrode including third and fourth electrode fingers. In the first IDT electrode, a central area, first and second low-acoustic-velocity areas, and first and second high-acoustic-velocity areas extend along a direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to an acoustic wave propagating direction. First and second envelopes connecting the tips of the third and fourth electrode fingers of the second IDT electrode are inclined.
