A filter device includes a filter (22A) connected to a common terminal (110) and having a first characteristic, a variable filter (22B) connected to the common terminal (110) and capable of changing a characteristic to one of a second characteristic and a third characteristic, and a switch (23). In the second characteristic, a second pass band including an overlapping band in which the second pass band and an attenuation band of the filter (22A) partially overlap in frequency is defined. Insertion loss within the overlapping band for the third characteristic is greater than insertion loss within the overlapping band for the second characteristic. When the filter (22A) is selected by the switch (23), the characteristic of the variable filter (22B) is set to the third characteristic.
