1. A multilayer capacitor comprising:
a body including a multilayer structure in which one or more first internal electrodes and one or more second internal electrodes are alternately stacked in a first direction with one or more dielectric layers interposed therebetween; and
first and second external electrodes disposed on the body and spaced apart from each other to be connected to the one or more first internal electrodes and the one or more second internal electrodes, respectively,
wherein the body further includes:
a plurality of side margin layers with the multilayer structure interposed therebetween in a second direction, perpendicular to the first direction; and
one or more edge margin portions configured to provide a margin,
wherein a first portion of the margin is disposed between an edge of at least one of the plurality of side margin layers in a third direction and the multilayer structure, the third direction being perpendicular to the first and second directions, and
wherein a second portion of the margin is disposed between an edge of at least one of the plurality of side margin layers in the first direction and the multilayer structure,
wherein the first portion and the second portion are configured such that at least one of the following characteristics is satisfied:
1) The first portion exists in an entire edge region of the multilayer structure between uppermost and lowermost surfaces of the multilayer structure in the first direction, or
2) The second portion exists in an entire edge region of the multilayer structure between two end surfaces of the multilayer structure in the third direction.
