PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a nickel powder for external electrodes with few agglomerate particles and a manufacturing method therefor. SOLUTION: The nickel powder for the external electrode of a laminated ceramic capacitor includes, in the nickel, at least one alkaline earth metal of 0.01-0.50 wt.%, and/or at least one alkali metal of 0.01-0.10 wt.%. The method for manufacturing the nickel powder for the external electrode of the laminated ceramic capacitor, comprises adding a liquid in which at least one salt of an alkaline earth metal and/or an alkali metal is dissolved, to at least one nickel salt selected from among nickel sulfate, nickel nitrate, nickel chloride, nickel oxide, nickel hydroxide and nickel carbonate, and reducing it at the temperature of 450 deg.C or higher but 650 deg.C or lower, for 1.5 hours or longer but 4 hours or shorter, in an atmosphere containing hydrogen.
