A multilayer ceramic electronic component includes multilayer ceramic electronic component bodies each including a laminate and first and second outer electrodes respectively disposed on two end surfaces of the laminate, first and second metal terminals respectively connected to the first and second outer electrodes, and first and second terminal blocks respectively connected to the first and second metal terminals. A thickness dimension of each multilayer ceramic electronic component body in a height direction is less than a width dimension of the multilayer ceramic electronic component body in a width direction. Each multilayer ceramic electronic component body is disposed such that a first or second side surface faces a mounting surface. The first and second metal terminals are respectively disposed astride the first and second outer electrodes of the multilayer ceramic electronic component bodies.
