A probe array in which adhesion of bubbles generated in an acoustic matching liquid is reduced, and an acoustic wave reception device including the probe array are provided. The probe array includes a plurality of probes each having a reception surface which comes in contact with the acoustic matching liquid stored in a vessel, and a support portion that supports the plurality of probes and has a proximal surface which comes in contact with the acoustic matching liquid and is adjacent to the reception surface. The reception surface is equal or smaller in a contact angle with respect to the acoustic matching liquid to or than the proximal surface.
