An electronic component includes a composite body made of a composite material of resin and magnetic metal particles, an inner electrode which is provided in the composite body and which has an end surface exposed from an outer surface of the composite body, and a metal film provided on the outer surface of the composite body and on the end surface of the inner electrode. The metal film includes a first region provided on the end surface of the inner electrode and a second region which is in contact with the magnetic metal particles exposed at the outer surface of the composite body and which is provided on the outer surface of the composite body. The thickness of the first region is less than the thickness of the second region.
