In a laminated ceramic electronic component including a ceramic element body including a plurality of effective sections, each of which constitutes a circuit element such as a laminated capacitor unit, bumps generated between the effective portions and a gap interposed between the effective portions can be made minimized. Specifically, the ceramic element body includes a first effective section including a first circuit element and a second effective section including a second circuit element. A gap is provided between the first and second effective section. Floating internal conductors are arranged in the gap at least in one of first and second external layer sections, the first external section being interposed between a first main surface and the first and second effective sections, and the second external layer section being interposed between a second main surface and the first and second effective sections.
