A resonant pressure sensor has high linearity and includes: a housing; and a pressure sensing unit that detects a static pressure based on a change value of a resonance frequency and includes: a housing-fixed portion; a substrate that includes a substrate-fixed portion and a substrate-separated portion; the pressure-receiving fluid that is interposed in a gap between the housing-fixed portion and the substrate and envelops the substrate; and a first resonator that is disposed in the substrate-separated portion and detects the change value of the resonance frequency based on a strain in the substrate caused by the static pressure applied by the pressure-receiving fluid, wherein the first resonator is made of a semiconductor material including an impurity, a concentration of the impurity is 1×1020 (cm−3) or higher, and an atomic radius of the impurity is smaller than an atomic radius of the semiconductor material.
