Original Abstract Submitted

A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a multilayer body including dielectric layers and electrode layers laminated therein, and two external electrodes respectively provided on two end surfaces of the multilayer body. As seen in a plane including a width and a lamination direction in a middle portion in a length direction, among the internal electrode layers, end portions in the width direction of about 90% or more of internal electrode layers in a middle in the lamination direction are curved toward a second main surface.
