A ball screw device includes a screw shaft, a nut, a plurality of balls, and an end deflector. The screw shaft has a first thread groove on an outer peripheral surface. The nut has a second thread groove provided on an inner peripheral surface, a notch provided on an end face, and a return hole provided on a bottom surface of the notch orthogonal to an axial direction of the screw shaft and passing through in the axial direction. The plurality of balls rolls between the first thread groove and the second thread groove. The end deflector fits into the notch. The nut includes a curved surface portion at a position of a lateral surface of the notch between the second thread groove and the return hole. In a first section obtained by cutting the nut with a plane orthogonal to the axial direction and passing through the second thread groove and the notch, the curved surface portion includes a portion that draws an arc centered at a point positioned outside the second thread groove in a radial direction around a rotation axis of the nut.
