A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a multilayer body including dielectric layers, internal electrode layers, and first and second end surfaces facing each other in a length direction, a first external electrode on a side of the first end surface, and a second external electrode on a side of the second end surface. The first and second external electrodes each include lower and upper electrode layers, the lower electrode layers include a metal component and a glass component, the upper electrode layers include a metal component and a glass component, and include pores, an amount of the glass component in the upper electrode layers is less than an amount of the glass component in the lower electrode layers, and a maximum inscribed circle diameter of the pores in the upper electrode layers is greater than or equal to about 0.02 μm and less than or equal to about 0.52 μm.
