A lip seal device comprises: a case surrounding a rotary shaft; a lip having an outer peripheral base end portion secured to the case, and an inner peripheral front end portion curved towards a sealed fluid so as to be in sliding contact with said rotary shaft; and an annular groove formed in the sealing surface of the front end portion of the lip. The lip seal device further comprises an elastic retaining member arranged in such a manner that the outer peripheral base end portion secured to the case, the inner peripheral front end portion is laid over the front end portion of the so as to push the front end portion of the lip against the rotary shaft, and the front end portion of the retaining member is held spaced from the rotary shaft, whereby even when the lip seal device is vibrated or the rotary shaft vibrates, an excellent sealing effect can be expected.
