A surface acoustic wave filter device includes surface acoustic wave filters, one of which includes a longitudinally coupled resonator-type first filter section and a longitudinally coupled resonator-type second filter section. The second filter section is electrically connected in parallel or series with the first filter section on at least one of an input signal side and an output signal side. The first filter section includes a first IDT group including three IDTs. The second filter section includes a second IDT group including three IDTs. Another surface acoustic wave filter includes a third IDT group that is cascade connected to the first filter section and the second filter section and includes IDTs arranged in order in a line in a surface acoustic wave propagation direction.
