An acoustic wave device includes a piezoelectric layer and an interdigital transducer disposed on the piezoelectric layer. The interdigital transducer primarily includes Al and includes an additive selected from a group consisting of Nd, Sc, and Ta, and a concentration of the additive in a region opposite to a piezoelectric-layer-side region of the interdigital transducer is higher than a concentration of the additive in the piezoelectric-layer-side region of the interdigital transducer.
