An electrolytic capacitor includes a capacitor element and an electrolyte solution. The capacitor element includes: an anode foil provided with a dielectric layer on the anode foil; a cathode foil disposed to face the anode foil; and a conductive polymer layer disposed between the anode foil and the cathode foil. The cathode foil is provided with a first layer disposed on the cathode foil, the first layer including at least one selected from the group consisting of carbon, nickel, a nickel compound, titanium, and a titanium compound. The conductive polymer layer includes a conductive polymer in contact with at least a part of a surface of the first layer. The surface of the first layer has projections and recesses. |
