PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To cause less cracks and delaminations to occur within a laminate by increasing adhesion between ceramic layers within the laminate. SOLUTION: A multilayer ceramic electronic component has a laminate 3, wherein each of ceramic layers 7 is alternately interposed between internal electrodes 5 and 6 external electrodes 2 and 2 provided at ends of the laminate 3 and connected to the electrodes 5 and 6, respectively. There are present in the electrodes 5 and 6 first ceramic particles, whose average particle size is equal to or smaller than that of conductor particles of which the electrodes 5 and 6 are composed, and second ceramic particles, whose average particle size is greater than the thickness of the electrodes 5 and 6. Conductive paste for forming the electrodes 5 and 6 is prepared, by adding a first of ceramic powder whose average particle size is equal to or smaller than that of the conductor particles, and a second ceramic powder, whose average particle size is greater than that of the conductor particles.
