A multilayer ceramic electronic component includes a ceramic body including internal electrodes and dielectric layers, and an electrode layer disposed on at least one surface of the ceramic body and electrically connected to the internal electrodes. A conductive resin layer containing metal particles and a base resin is disposed on the electrode layer. When a weight ratio of metal to carbon in a surface portion of the conductive resin layer is defined as A, and a weight ratio of metal to carbon in an internal portion of the conductive resin layer is defined as B, A is greater than B.
