Disclosed is a positive electrode for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery, including a current collector and a mixture layer attached thereto. The mixture layer includes an active material including particles of a first active material, i.e., a lithium-manganese composite oxide, and particles of a second active material, i.e., a lithium-nickel composite oxide. A proportion of the first active material particles in the active material is 51 vol % to 90 vol %. A volume-based particle size distribution of the first active material particles has a first peak on a larger particle side and a second peak on a smaller particle side. A first particle size D1 corresponding to the first peak is 2.5 to 5 times larger than a second particle size D2 corresponding to the second peak. A volume-based particle size distribution of the second active material particles has a third peak corresponding to a third particle size D3 satisfying D1>D3>D2.
