Abstract: A valve device is provided. In the valve device, a valve element is rotated about a support shaft, based on rotation of a valve element drive member to switch a through hole that communicates with an outlet formed in a valve seat to adjust a flow rate. The through hole opens in a bottom surface of a flow channel securing groove formed in the valve element. The flow channel securing groove has a long hole shape in which a width in a first direction being a moving direction of the valve element, is smaller than a width in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. Thus, a region overlapping with the outlet is large as compared to a case where a perfect circular flow channel securing groove is formed.
