The present invention provides an optimal non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery having high durability against high rate charging and discharging and excellent safety. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery 100 according to the present invention comprises a positive electrode 10, a negative electrode 20 and a separator 30 which is interposed between the positive electrode 10 and the negative electrode 20. The separator 30 has a two-layer structure which is composed of a porous polyethylene layer 34 mainly composed of polyethylene, and a porous polymer layer 32 mainly composed of a polymer having higher oxidation resistance than that of the polyethylene, and an inorganic filler layer 40 including an inorganic filler and a binder is formed on the surface of the polyethylene layer 34 on which the porous polymer layer 32 is not formed.
