Provided are a vibrating body and a vibration wave actuator, which can suppress vibration attenuation along with a reduction in size with an inexpensive structure, to thereby improve vibration efficiency, and can output stable vibration energy. A vibrating body includes: a piezoelectric element including a piezoelectric layer and an electrode layer; a ceramic substrate to which the piezoelectric element is fixed; and a ceramic layer including the same main component as a main component of the ceramic substrate, which is provided between the piezoelectric element and the ceramic substrate, and the piezoelectric element is fixed to the ceramic substrate through intermediation of the ceramic layer. |
