A small-sized surface acoustic wave filter device having favorable filter characteristics includes a transmission-side surface acoustic wave filter chip including a ladder surface acoustic wave filter unit located on a piezoelectric substrate. The ladder surface acoustic wave filter unit includes a series arm connected between an input pad and an output pad and a plurality of resonators and including at least one first resonator connected to the input pad or the output pad. A die-attach surface is provided with an inductor connected to the first resonator. The inductor is arranged such that at least a portion thereof faces the first resonator and does not face any of the plurality of resonators and other than the first resonator.
