A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a multilayer body including laminated dielectric layers and laminated internal electrode layers on the dielectric layers, and external electrodes connected to the internal electrode layers. The multilayer body further includes an inner layer portion, a first main surface-side outer layer portion, and a second main surface-side outer layer portion. At least one of the first main surface-side outer layer portion or the second main surface-side outer layer portion includes a discharge path along a plane perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the lamination direction to discharge a chemical element to outside of the multilayer body.
