PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a piezoelectric ceramic having a small deformation caused by firing, a method for producing the same, and an electronic component. A piezoelectric ceramic includes a plurality of crystal grains made of a lead zirconate titanate-based crystal containing Zn and Bi, and a crystal grain boundary 3 existing between the plurality of crystal grains. In the crystal particle 2, the content of at least one element of Zn and Bi in the crystal particle 2 is smaller than the content of the element in the region including the crystal grain boundary 3 in contact with the crystal particle 2. The first crystal particle 2a is included. Such a piezoelectric ceramic 1 can form an electronic component with little warpage and deformation even when the deformation due to firing is small and the wall thickness is thin.
