An object is to provide a positive electrode for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery and a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery that allow a high output characteristic. Included are a positive electrode collector and a positive electrode mixture layer formed on at least one surface of the positive electrode collector. The positive electrode mixture layer contains particles 3 of lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide represented by LiNi0.55Co0.2OMn0.25O2, erbium oxyhydroxide 1 fixed on the surfaces of the particles of the lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide 3, tungsten trioxide 2 adhering to the surfaces of the particles of the lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide 3, and a binder.
