A filter body includes a serial arm and one or more parallel resonators in a state where they are connected in a ladder shape. The serial arm includes a plurality of serial resonators connected in series to each other. A difference of resonance frequencies among the plurality of serial resonators is smaller than a half of a difference between the resonance frequency and an antiresonance frequency of each serial resonator. The serial arm includes a first divided arm which extends from one side toward the other side in a predetermined direction on the piezoelectric substrate, and a second divided arm which is folded back from the other side of the first divided arm and extends toward the one side. The shield conductor includes a portion which is located between at least one of the serial resonators included in the first divided arm and at least one of the serial resonators included in the second divided arm.
