A multi-layer ceramic electronic component includes: a ceramic body including first and second main surfaces oriented in a first axial direction, first and second end surfaces oriented in a second axial direction orthogonal to the first axial direction, a first internal electrode drawn to the first end surface, and a second internal electrode facing the first internal electrode and being drawn to the second end surface, the ceramic body being formed to be long in a third axial direction orthogonal to the first and second axial directions, a dimension of the ceramic body in the first axial direction being 80 μm or less; a first external electrode covering the first end surface and extending from the first end surface to the first and second main surfaces; and a second external electrode covering the second end surface and extending from the second end surface to the first and second main surfaces.
