A photosensitive resin composition, a patterning process performed using the photosensitive resin composition, a cured film formed by curing the pattern, and an electronic component having the cured film. The photosensitive resin composition includes a resin, a photosensitizer, a surfactant containing a structural unit represented by formula (1), and a solvent, where Y1 and Y2 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a methyl group, a phenyl group, or a group represented by formula (2), at least one of Y1 and Y2 is a group represented by formula (2), R1 to R6 are monovalent hydrocarbon groups that may be the same or different and optionally contain a heteroatom, having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, “1” and “n” are each independently integers of 1 to 100, and “m” is an integer of 0 to 100.
