A liquid ejecting head (recording head) includes a structure (flow path member) having a plurality of stacked plates (a nozzle plate, a flow path plate, and a diaphragm) in which end surfaces at both sides in one direction are aligned. At least two plates of the plates (the nozzle plate, the flow path plate, and the diaphragm) have different coefficients of linear expansion in the one direction, and holding members are fixed to the end surfaces of the structure (flow path member) at both sides in the one direction, the holding members having stiffness higher than stiffness of a plate having the highest coefficient of linear expansion in the one direction among the plates (the nozzle plate, the flow path plate, and the diaphragm).
