There is provided a multi-layer ceramic electronic component includes a ceramic body, an end external electrode unit, a side face external electrode unit. The ceramic body includes a pair of end faces, a pair of first side faces, and a pair of second side faces all of which are faced each other, respectively. The ceramic body includes a plurality of ceramic layers and an internal electrode unit. A plurality of the ceramic layers extend along a pair of the first side faces, and are laminated along a pair of the second side faces. The internal electrode unit includes first and second internal electrodes disposed alternately between a plurality of the ceramic layers, the first internal electrodes are drawn to both ends of a pair of the end faces, and the second internal electrodes are dawn to both ends of a pair of the second side faces. The end external electrode unit is connected to the first internal electrodes. The side face external electrode unit goes around from one of a pair of the first and second side faces to the other and are connected directly or indirectly each other at the other. There is also provided a method of producing the same.
