The present invention provides an electrode for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery that can sufficiently improve the power output characteristic of the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery. The electrode for the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes a current collector and an active material layer formed on the current collector. The active material layer contains active material particles each coated with a conductive carbon material layer, a surfactant as a dispersant, and conductive carbon material particles.
