There is provided a powder container including a holder that stores powder, a stirring unit that stirs the powder, and a swing member to drop the powder remaining on an inner wall of the holder. The stirring unit includes a rotation shaft rotatably supported in the holder, and a stirring member provided to the rotation shaft in such a manner as to protrude outward in a radial direction. The inner wall includes a wall along an intersecting direction intersecting with a rotation axis direction of the rotation shaft. A base side of the swing member includes a fixed portion that is fixed to the all along the intersecting direction of the holder, and a movable side of the swing member swings about the fixed portion by being pressed by the stirring member due to the rotation of the rotation shaft.
