In an embodiment, a multilayer ceramic capacitor 10 includes: a first external electrode 12 having a first part 12a provided on one height-direction face, and a second part 12b provided on the other height-direction face, of the capacitor body 11; and a second external electrode 13 having a first part 13a provided on one height-direction face, and a second part 13b provided on the other height-direction face, of the capacitor body 11. In addition, the reference length L1a of the first part 12a, and the reference length L1b of the second part 12b, of the first external electrode 12 satisfy the relational expression “L1a>L1b,” while the reference length L2a of the first part 13a, and the reference length L2b of the second part 13b, of the second external electrode 13 satisfy the relational expression “L2a
