PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a piezoelectric element capable of reducing a short circuit between a first wiring and a second wiring provided on a piezoelectric body due to a residue of a metal film. A piezoelectric element (1) is provided on a substrate (2) and has a plurality of sides, a first wiring (6) provided from the piezoelectric body (4) to the substrate (2), and from the piezoelectric body (4) to the substrate (2). The second wiring 7 and the second side 4b and the fourth side 4d where the piezoelectric body 4 and the first wiring 6 overlap with each other when viewed from the thickness direction of the piezoelectric body 4, the piezoelectric body 4 and the second wiring 7. The first side 4a and the third side 4c overlapping with each other are different sides.
