An electrophotographic photosensitive member that shows stable sensitivity even when repeatedly used. The electrophotographic photosensitive member is an electrophotographic photosensitive member including a support, an undercoat layer, a charge generating layer, and a charge transporting layer in the stated order, wherein the undercoat layer contains two kinds of electron transporting substances.

Provided is an electrophotographic photosensitive member including in this order: a support; an electron-transporting layer; a charge-generating layer; and a hole-transporting layer, wherein the electron-transporting layer comprises a polymer having a specific structural unit, and wherein the polymer has a glass transition temperature Tg of ?10 to 50? C.

An image forming apparatus includes an electrophotographic photoreceptor, and a charging device including a charging member that charges a surface of the electrophotographic photoreceptor and a cleaning member that is disposed in contact with the charging member, in which the electrophotographic photoreceptor has a conductive substrate and a photosensitive layer disposed on the conductive substrate, and an outermost surface layer of the electrophotographic photoreceptor contains a charge transport material and a polyarylate resin having a dicarboxylic acid unit represented by Formula (A) and a diol unit represented by Formula (B), the cleaning member has a core metal and a foamed elastic layer provided in a helical shape on an outer peripheral surface of the core metal, and a value of a ratio T/W of a thickness T of the foamed elastic layer to a width W of the foamed elastic layer is 0.6 or more and 1.2 or less,
