An elastic wave device includes a piezoelectric substrate, an IDT electrode including a first electrode layer located on the piezoelectric substrate and including one of Mo and W as a main component and a second electrode layer laminated on the first electrode layer and including Cu as a main component, and a dielectric film located on the piezoelectric substrate and covering the IDT electrode. The piezoelectric substrate is made of lithium niobate. The dielectric film is made of silicon oxide. The elastic wave device utilizes Rayleigh waves propagating along the piezoelectric substrate.
