An element substrate includes a substrate including a supply port configured to supply liquid, and a discharge port forming member including a discharge port configured to discharge the liquid supplied from the supply port. The discharge port forming member includes a liquid flow path communicating between the discharge port and the supply port on a surface opposed to a surface where the discharge port is provided. The discharge port forming member includes thick film portions and thin film portions in a region where the liquid flow path is formed. The thick film portions are lined up in a first direction so as to sandwich the discharge port therebetween and thicker than an adjacent portion adjacent to the discharge port. The thin film portions are lined up in a second direction intersecting with the first direction so as to sandwich the discharge port therebetween and thinner than the adjacent portion.
