The present invention relates to a secondary battery. The secondary battery comprises an electrode assembly in which an electrode and a separator are alternately stacked and wound, wherein the electrode comprises a collector, a first coating layer in which an electrode active material is applied to a surface of the collector, and a second coating layer in which the electrode active material is applied to the outside of the first coating layer, wherein an end of the second coating layer has a length less than an end of first coating layer in a winding direction of the electrode, and a stepped portion occurs between the end of the first coating layer and the end of the second coating layer in a direction outward from a winding center.
