There is provided a wiring board including a multilayer substrate and a reinforcing member. The multilayer substrate has a first main substrate surface formed with a chip mounting area to which an electronic chip is mounted and a second main substrate surface opposed to the first main substrate surface. The reinforcing member is fixed to either an area of the first main substrate surface other than the chip mounting area or the second main substrate surface and has a body predominantly formed of ceramic material and incorporating therein at least one capacitor.
