In an embodiment, a multilayer ceramic capacitor 10 is constituted in such a way that its capacitor body 11 houses a capacitance part which is halved in the third direction d3, along a shared internal electrode layer 11a3 serving as a boundary, into a high-capacitance part HC and a low-capacitance part LC. When the capacitor body 11 is cut along a surface crossing at right angles with the first direction d1, the revealed cross-sectional shape of the shared internal electrode layer 11a3 has a cross-sectional shape where a curved part CP that projects toward the dielectric layer 11b2 on low-capacitance part LC side adjoining the shared internal electrode layer 11a3, is present on both sides in the second direction d2, and also in between.
