A branching filter includes a common port, a first signal port, a second signal port, a first filter, which is provided between the common port and the first signal port, that selectively passes a signal of a frequency within a first passband, a second filter, which is provided between the common port and the second signal port, that selectively passes a signal of a frequency within a second passband different from the first passband, and a capacitor that has a first end and a second end and connects the first filter and the second filter.
