Disclosed is a method for producing a multilayer ceramic substrate wherein a resistor pattern and a conductor pattern on the outer surface of a multilayer ceramic substrate can be formed with good quality by an ink jet method. A composite sheet (11) consisting of a first ceramic green layer (2a) and a shrinkage suppression layer (10) is produced; a resistor pattern (4) and a conductor pattern (5)are formed on the first ceramic green layer (2a) of the composite sheet (11) by an ink jet method; and then a plurality of second ceramic green layers (3a) are laminated together with the composite sheet (11) such that the shrinkage suppression layer (10) of the composite sheet (11) forms the outermost layer, thereby producing a composite laminate (13) having an unfired multilayer ceramic substrate (1a) and the shrinkage suppression layer (10). Thereafter, the composite laminate (13) is fired and the shrinkage suppression layer (10) is removed, thereby obtaining a fired multilayer ceramic substrate (1).
