A piezoelectric film resonator for a radio-frequency circuit according to an aspect of the present invention includes a substrate and a multilayer film provided on the substrate. The multilayer film has a stacked structure in which at least two piezoelectric layers and at least three electrode layers disposed with each of the piezoelectric layers therebetween are stacked. At least one of the electrode layers is an electrode layer for excitation. The electrode layer for excitation has a structure in which a plurality of unit patterns as elements of the electrode layer for excitation are disposed periodically along a direction substantially perpendicular to a stacked direction of the stacked structure.
