An electrolytic capacitor includes a capacitor element and an electrolytic solution. The capacitor element includes: an anode body including a dielectric layer; a cathode body; and a solid electrolyte in contact with the dielectric layer. The electrolytic solution includes a solvent, a solute, and a polymer component. The solvent includes an ethylene glycol compound. The polymer component includes polyalkylene glycol. The polyalkylene glycol includes at least one of (i) a mixture of polyoxyethylene and polyoxypropylene and (ii) an oxyethylene-oxypropylene copolymer. In the polyalkylene glycol, a molar ratio m/n of oxyethylene units to oxypropylene units is greater than 1.
