1. A multilayer ceramic capacitor comprising:
a multilayer body; and
two external electrodes; wherein
the multilayer body including:
a multilayer main body including an inner layer portion including a plurality of dielectric layers and a plurality of internal electrode layers that are alternately stacked, and two outer layer portions on opposite sides of the inner layer portion in a stacking direction;
two side gap portions on opposite sides of the multilayer main body in a width direction intersecting the stacking direction;
two main surfaces on opposite sides in the stacking direction;
two side surfaces on opposite sides in the width direction; and
two end surfaces on opposite sides in a length direction intersecting the stacking direction and the width direction;
the two external electrodes each being provided at one of the two end surfaces of the multilayer body, and each extending from one of the two end surfaces to a portion of the main surface;
an end of the side gap portion on a side of the main surface protrudes farther than the multilayer main body; and
a thickness at a portion of the side gap portion in contact with a side surface of the multilayer main body is equal to or less than a protrusion amount of the end of the side gap portion on the side of the main surface.
