A multiplexer (1) includes a plurality of filters connected to a common terminal (110). The multiplexer (1) includes: a low-frequency filter (11L) that is formed of at least one surface acoustic wave resonator arranged between the common terminal (110) and the input/output terminal (120) and has a first pass band; a high-frequency filter (12H) that is connected between the common terminal (110) and the input/output terminal (130) and has a second pass band located at a higher frequency than the first pass band; and a capacitor (CB1) that is serially arranged in a connection path between the common terminal (110) and the low-frequency filter (11L). The Q value of the capacitor (CB1) in the second pass band is higher than the Q value in the second pass band of a capacitance obtained by treating the at least one surface acoustic wave resonator of the low-frequency filter (11L) as a capacitance.
