PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a multilayer ceramic capacitor by which variations in electrostatic capacity with respect to the temperature can be minimized, cracks which may be caused during surface mounting operations are further suppressed and reliability as capacitor can be maintained. SOLUTION: A capacitor body 1 is comprised of a capacity generating part 7 formed by alternately stacking several types of inner electrode layers 5 containing different metals as major constituent and several ceramic dielectric layers 4 and a non-capacity-generating part 9 of ceramic which is formed around the capacity generating part 7. In addition, the thermal expansion coefficient of the non-capacity-generating part 9 is smaller than that of the ceramic dielectric layers 4 of the capacity generating part 7 by 4-10×10<-7> / deg.C and the volume of the non-capacity-generating part 9 is 5-50% of that of the capacitor body 1.
