A pressure detection device includes: a cylindrical body made of a conductor; a pressure receiver made of a conductor, the pressure receiver being mounted to one end side of the body and receiving pressure from the outside; a signal generator arranged inside the body, the signal generator being electrically connected to the pressure receiver and generating a signal corresponding to the pressure received by the pressure receiver; and a cover made of an insulator with a lower thermal conductivity than thermal conductivities of the body and the pressure receiver, the cover continuously covering an outer surface of the pressure receiver and a portion of an outer surface of the body, the portion being located at a side closer to the pressure receiver.
