An inkjet recording apparatus includes an ink image formation unit to form an ink image on a recording medium, and a drying module having a conveyance unit to convey the recording medium, an air blowing unit to blow air, a duct, and first and second heating units to dry the recording medium on which the ink image is formed. The duct is arranged above the conveyance unit in a vertical direction and guides air blown by the air blowing unit to the conveyed recording medium. The first and second heating units heats air in the duct. The second heating unit is arranged downstream of the first heating unit in a direction of a current of air generated by the air blowing unit. When being viewed along the direction of the air current, the second heating unit includes a part not overlapping the first heating unit.
