A multilayer ceramic capacitor having a high moisture resistance while a dielectric ceramic layer is thinned is provided. A dielectric ceramic layer including crystal grains and crystal grain boundaries; a laminate having an internal electrode layer; and an external electrode formed on a surface of the laminate to electrically connect internal electrode layers exposed on the surface of the laminate. In the multilayer ceramic capacitor, the composition of the laminate includes a calcium zirconate-based perovskite-type compound as a main component, and further contains Mn, Sr, and Si. When the laminate is dissolved, Zr is reduced to 100 moles , The molar ratio of Si to the Sr is from 0.1 to 10, and the molar ratio of Mn to Sr is from 0.3 to 3.2. |
