A ceramic electronic component includes a first internal electrode that includes a first opposed section and a first extraction section. The first opposed section is opposed to a second internal electrode with a ceramic layer interposed therebetween. The first extraction section is located closer to a first end surface than the first opposed section. The first extraction section includes a first thick section. The first thick section is thicker than a first central section of the first opposed section. The first opposed section includes a first base end section opposed to a second tip section of the second internal electrode closer to the first end surface, with the ceramic layer interposed therebetween, and the first base end section includes a first thin section. The first thin section is thinner than the first central section.
