A ceramic electronic component includes two or more electrodes 5 and 6 spaced at a predetermined distance from each other, between which a potential difference is produced in operation and a void 9 that penetrates to the outside is provided. In the void 9, a water repellent film 10 is formed. This prevents water vapor from being absorbed in the void 9 connecting the electrodes 5 and 6, and thereby preventing the formation of a conductive path and the occurrence of ion migration.
