[PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED] To provide a bulk wave resonator having a high frequency passband. [SOLUTION] A bulk wave resonator using a bulk wave, includes a support substrate, an acoustic multilayer film that includes, stacked on the support substrate, a plurality of types of dielectrics having different acoustic impedances, a piezoelectric layer that is stacked on the acoustic multilayer film, a first electrode, and a second electrode. The first and second electrodes are disposed to face each other with a gap therebetween on a first surface of the piezoelectric layer opposite to the acoustic multilayer film, and are applied with a voltage for allowing the piezoelectric layer to generate the bulk wave. A direction that is parallel to the surface of the piezoelectric layer and in which the first electrode and the second electrode face each other is defined as a first direction. The bulk wave resonator uses, as a main mode, a bulk wave in the first direction that is generated by a thickness shear vibration in the first direction, which is excited by a parallel electric field formed in the piezoelectric layer when a voltage applied to the first electrode and the second electrode.
