A liquid ejection head, including: a plurality of ejection ports from which a liquid is ejected; a plurality of pressure chambers which communicate with the plurality of ejection ports and are constituted by piezoelectric portions that eject a liquid from the ejection ports by shrink-deforming; and a control unit configured to drive the piezoelectric portions so that the pressure chambers shrink-deform, wherein the control unit controls driving timing of the piezoelectric portions such that, after any of the plurality of pressure chambers is made to shrink-deform, a pressure chamber disposed not to adjoin the shrink-deformed pressure chamber is made to shrink-deform.
