An equalizer device which enables tap coefficient correction accuracy to be improved to enable high-quality adaptive equalization. A tap coefficient filter corrects tap coefficients thereof in accordance with a control signal and equalizes a received signal in which a data signal is multiplexed with a pilot signal, which is a known signal for compensating for variation in reception of the data signal. A training signal setter sets both of the data signal and the pilot signal as a training signal, which indicates an ideal value of equalized output. A tap coefficient corrector obtains an error signal indicative of a differential value between the training signal and a filter output signal which is output from the tap coefficient filter after being equalized, performs an adaptive algorithm operation so as to decrease the error signal, and generates the control signal for correcting the tap coefficients.
