A dielectric ceramic composition comprises a main component including BaTiO3, a first subcomponent including BaZrO3, a second subcomponent including an oxide of Mg, a third subcomponent including an oxide of rare earth, a fourth subcomponent including an oxide of at least one element selected from Mn, Cr, Co and Fe, and a fifth subcomponent including an oxide of at least one element selected from Si, Al, Ge, B and Li. At least a part of dielectric particles constituting the dielectric ceramic composition comprises a surface diffusion structure comprised of a central layer and a diffusion layer therearound. CR and CRmax, respectively defined as a concentration of said “R” in a proximity point to a boundary face of the dielectric particle and a maximum concentration of the “R” in the diffusion layer, satisfy a relation of CRmax/CR>1. Also, CM and CMmax, respectively defined as a concentration of said Mg in a proximity point to a boundary face of the dielectric particle and a maximum concentration of Mg in the diffusion layer, satisfy a relation of CMmax/CM>1.
