An inertial force sensor includes: an acceleration detection element; a temperature sensor that detects an ambient temperature of the acceleration detection element; a bridge circuit that processes an output signal from the acceleration detection element; an AD converter that converts an analog signal output from the bridge circuit into a digital signal, and outputs the digital signal; a calculation circuit that performs calculation on the output signal from the AD converter; and a storage that stores correction data for correcting a variation in the output signal from the AD converter due to a temperature change. The correction data are coefficients of a formula expressed by a calibration curve that is a quadratic or higher-degree curve, and the storage stores, as the correction data, the coefficients of the calibration curve of each of a plurality of patterns that differ between a predetermined temperature or more and less than the predetermined temperature.
