The ceramic honeycomb structure has a plurality of cells partitioned by porous partition walls and extending through the structure in an axial direction, one end portion of a predetermined cell is plugged with a plugging portion constituted of a plugging material with which the cell is filled, and the other end portion of a remaining cell is plugged with the plugging portion on a side opposite to the end portion of the predetermined cell. In the ceramic honeycomb structure, a sectional numerical aperture of the plugging portion in the vicinity of the partition wall is smaller than that of the plugging portion in the vicinity of a central axis, and a difference between the sectional numerical apertures is 10% or more.
