A ceramic electronic component includes a body including a dielectric layer and an internal electrode; and an external electrode disposed on the body and connected to the internal electrode. The dielectric layer includes a plurality of grains and grain boundaries disposed between adjacent grains. The grain boundary includes a secondary phase including Sn, a rare-earth element, and a first subcomponent. The rare-earth element includes at least one of Y, Dy, Ho, Er, Gd, Ce, Nd, Sm, Tb, Tm, La, Gd and Yb. The first subcomponent includes at least one of Si, Mg, and Al.

Ceramic electronic component

A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a ceramic body including a dielectric layer and including first and second surfaces opposing each other, third and fourth surfaces connecting the first and second surfaces. A plurality of internal electrodes is disposed inside the ceramic body, connected to the first and second surfaces, and have one ends connected to the third and fourth surfaces. First and second side margin parts are disposed on end portions of the internal electrodes connected to the first and second surfaces. The ceramic body includes an active portion forming capacitance by including the plurality of internal electrodes disposed to oppose each other with the dielectric layer interposed therebetween. An average Sn content in a region adjacent to the side margin part of the active portion is greater than an average Sn content in a central region of the active portion.
