An elastic wave device includes a piezoelectric substrate, and elastic wave elements on the piezoelectric substrate and including IDT electrodes, respectively. The IDT electrode of a first of the elastic wave elements includes first and second busbars, and the IDT electrode of a second of the elastic wave elements includes third and fourth busbars. The second busbar and the third busbar extend parallel or substantially parallel to each other, and are spaced by a gap in a direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to an elastic-wave propagating direction. Each of the second and third busbars includes first and second electrode layers at least a portion of which is laminated on the first electrode layer. The second electrode layer of the second busbar is cut in at least one location in a direction crossing the elastic-wave propagating direction.
