MULTILAYER CERAMIC CAPACITOR

A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a base body including dielectric ceramic layers and internal electrode layers stacked in a thickness direction, and a pair of external electrodes on first and second end surfaces and electrically connected to the internal electrode layers. The dielectric ceramic layers include, as a main component, crystal grains including a perovskite complex oxide including barium and titanium, and a rare earth element, and include, in a cross section including the thickness direction, a rare earth element high-concentration region in an area proportion of about 50% or more, the rare earth element high-concentration region including the rare earth element in a molar ratio of the rare earth element to titanium of about 0.04 or more and about 0.30 or less.
