A method for manufacturing a wiring board which can simplify a manufacturing step. In a preparation step, a core board and an electronic component are prepared. In an insulating layer formation and fixing step, after accommodating the electronic component in an accommodation hole, a lowermost resin insulating layer is formed, and a gap between the electronic component and the core board is filled with a part of the lowermost resin insulating layer so as to fix the electronic component to the core board. In an opening portion formation step, a portion of the lowermost resin insulating layer located directly above the gap between the electronic component and the core board is removed so as to form an opening portion exposing a part of a core board main surface side conductor and a component main surface side electrode. In a main surface side connecting conductor formation step, a main surface side connecting conductor is formed in the opening portion so as to connect the core board main surface side conductor to the component main surface side electrode.
