1. A multilayer ceramic capacitor comprising:
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, and fifth and sixth surfaces connected to the first to fourth surfaces and opposing each other;
a plurality of internal electrodes disposed inside the ceramic body, connected to the first and second surfaces, and having one ends connected to the third and fourth surfaces; and
first and second side margin parts disposed on end portions of the internal electrodes connected to the first and second surfaces,
wherein 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, and
an average Sn content in a region adjacent to the first or second side margin part of the active portion is greater than an average Sn content in a central region of the active portion,
wherein when a shortest distance from the first side margin part to the second side margin part is t, a side border region of the active portion indicates a region from an interface between any one of the first side margin part and the second side margin part and the active portion to a point of t/10, and
the central region of the active portion indicates a region excluding the side border region.
