A measurement apparatus including: a conveyance unit configured to convey a sheet in a conveyance direction; a measurement portion configured to measure an image formed on the sheet; a first movement unit configured to move the measurement portion in a predetermined direction orthogonal to the conveyance direction; a second movement unit configured to move the measurement portion to a first position and a second position farther apart from the sheet than the first position; and a first abutment member, a second abutment member, a third abutment member, and a fourth abutment member, which abut against the sheet when the measurement portion is located at the first position. When the measurement portion is moved from the second position to the first position, the third abutment member and the fourth abutment member are brought into abutment against the sheet earlier than the first abutment member and the second abutment member.
