A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a multilayer body including dielectric layers and inner electrodes stacked alternately, a first principal surface and a second principal surface facing each other in a stacking direction, two side surfaces facing each other in a width direction perpendicular to the stacking direction, and two end surfaces facing each other in a length direction perpendicular to the stacking direction and the width direction, and two outer electrodes on the respective end surfaces. In the multilayer body, in a section along the length direction and the stacking direction in a center portion in the width direction, a dimension in the stacking direction between the first principal surface and the second principal surface in a center portion in the length direction is smaller than a dimension in the stacking direction between the first principal surface and the second principal surface in both end portions in the length direction.
