An elastic wave device has a low temperature coefficient of frequency (TCF), a low insertion loss, a high electromechanical coupling coefficient (k2), and an increased pitch of the electrode fingers. The elastic wave device includes a piezoelectric component, IDT electrodes, and a dielectric layer arranged to cover the IDT electrodes. The dielectric layer has a temperature coefficient of frequency, the sign of the temperature coefficient of frequency being opposite to that of the temperature coefficient of frequency of the piezoelectric component, or the sign of the temperature coefficient of frequency being the same as that of the temperature coefficient of frequency of the piezoelectric component, and the absolute value of the TCF being smaller than that of the temperature coefficient of frequency of the piezoelectric component. Electrode fingers of the IDT electrodes each include a first electrode layer and a second electrode layer. Each first electrode layer is located in a corresponding one of a plurality of grooves. Each second electrode layer is located above the top of a corresponding one of the grooves. The one-half power of the product of the cube of the mean density (ρa) and the mean stiffness (C44a) of the first electrode layer, i.e., (ρ3×C44)1/2 of the first electrode layer is larger than (ρ3×C44)1/2 of the second electrode layer.
