A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a multilayer body including dielectric layers and internal electrode layers laminated alternately on each other, and external electrode layers on both end surfaces of the multilayer body in a length direction orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to a lamination direction, and each connected to the internal electrode layers. The dielectric layers each include at least one of Ca, Zr, or Ti, the internal electrode layers each include Cu, and the external electrode layers each include a sintered electrode layer in which dielectric particles including at least one of Ca, Zr, or Ti are included in a metal including Ni, and at least one of a Cu-plated layer, a Ni-plated layer, and a Sn-plated layer on an outer side of the sintered electrode layer.
