A positive electrode for a lithium ion secondary battery includes a positive electrode composite material layer. The positive electrode composite material layer includes composite particles and electron conductive particles. The composite particles include positive electrode active material particles and a coating film. The coating film is formed on the surface of the positive electrode active material particles. The coating film contains a first electron conductive oxide. The electron conductive particles are dispersed in the positive electrode composite material layer. The electron conductive particles contain a second electron conductive oxide. Each of the first electron conductive oxide and the second electron conductive oxide has a perovskite structure.
