An electronic component includes a core, a winding, and an electrode. A flange of the core includes a body having a first surface that faces a top side and is located on the top side of a winding core of the core and first and second electrode formation portions protruding toward the top side of the first surface. The electrode is provided on a second surface of the first electrode formation portion and is connected to the winding. Space surrounded by the first and second electrode formation portions and the first surface is formed. A predetermined section between a point where the winding is separated from the winding core and a point where the winding comes into contact with the electrode extends toward the upper right side as viewed from the front, and does not include a portion of the winding an entire line width of which overlaps the space.
