A piezoelectric generator is provided which can improve an output current by almost two times by having an ultrathin metal electrode bonded between piezoceramic elements, with polarizations of the piezoceramic elements oriented in the same direction. In the piezoelectric generator for generating electricity by causing deformations to a platelike piezoceramic member, the piezoceramic member comprises two platelike piezoceramic elements and an ultrathin metal electrode disposed therebetween, the piezoceramic elements and the metal electrode being bonded together in layers, the piezoceramic elements having their polarizations oriented in the same direction. A central portion or end portions of one surface of the piezoceramic member is supported by a cushion member to form a flexible support structure that makes it difficult for a natural vibration of the piezoceramic member to be transmitted to other structures.
