An image forming apparatus includes: an apparatus body; a first rotating body having a first end supported on the apparatus body rotatably about an axis so that the first rotating body is rotatable between an adjacent state and a distant state in which a second end is more distant from the apparatus body than the adjacent state; an arm having a first end rotatably supported on the apparatus body, and a second end connected to the first rotating body to be slidable in a direction perpendicular to the axis; and an urging member having a first end connected to the arm, and a second end connected to the first rotating body at a position between the axis and a connecting portion to which the arm is connected, the urging member urges the arm in a direction of drawing the second end of the arm toward the axis.
