A multi-layer ceramic capacitor includes a body including a multi-layer unit and a side margin, and an external electrode. The multi-layer unit includes ceramic layers laminated in a first direction, first and second internal electrodes alternately disposed between the ceramic layers, an end surface oriented in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, the first internal electrode being drawn from the end surface, an end margin disposed between the end surface and the second internal electrode, and a side surface oriented in a third direction orthogonal to the former directions, the internal electrodes being exposed to the side surface. The side margin covers the side surface. The external electrode includes an entry portion and covers the body from the side of the end surface, the entry portion being disposed on the end margin and entering a gap between the side surface and the side margin from the end surface.
