A piezoelectric element 10 includes a supporting body 12, a lower electrode 16 that is formed over the supporting body, a piezoelectric layer 20 that is formed over the lower electrode, and an upper electrode 24 that is formed over the piezoelectric layer so as to oppose the lower electrode via the piezoelectric layer. A step portion 20A is formed at a peripheral portion of the piezoelectric layer at a side of the lower electrode such that a surface of the piezoelectric layer at the side of the lower electrode is larger than a surface of the piezoelectric layer at a side of the upper electrode.
