To provide a conductive particle having conductive performance further more improved.

The present invention relates to a conductive particle including a core material particle and a conductive layer formed of a metal coating covering the core material particle. The core material particle is a conductive particle formed by coating the particle surface of a core silica particle with polyorganosiloxane (b). In the core material particle, a ratio of the thickness of the polyorganosiloxane (b) relative to a diameter of the core silica particle is preferably 0.07-1.5.
