To provide a method for manufacturing a ceramic electronic component that has a step of printing a conductive paste or a level difference dissolving ceramic paste in sheet shape in first and second gravure printing processes, can accurately modify deviation in printing, and hardly generates distortion in printing.

The method for manufacturing a ceramic electronic component performs the second gravure printing process so as to allow the printing position of a first printed mark and that of a second printed mark to be a relatively suitable relationship between positions, based on the result of: comparing the position of the first printed mark with a predetermined desired position of the first printed mark after printing the first printed mark 34 prior to the second gravure printing process; and detecting the position of the first printed mark before the second gravure printing process, when the conductive paste and the level difference dissolving ceramic paste are printed in performing the first and the second gravure printing processes on a composite sheet 2 having a ceramic green sheet.
