An image forming apparatus to form an image on a recording medium includes a rotating member, a holding member, and an urging member. The rotating member is rotatable about a rotation axis between a first position and a second position and is rotatable from the first position in a direction opposite to the second position. The holding member holds the rotating member rotatably. The urging member urges the rotating member in a returning direction in which the rotating member is returned to the first position when the rotating member rotates from the first position in the direction opposite to the second position.
