An electrophotographic photoreceptor includes: a cylindrical base body having a two-step stepped chamfer between a base body outer peripheral face and a base body end face; and a surface layer located on the base body outer peripheral face. The cylindrical base body has an outer chamfered face and an inner chamfered face lying closer to an end face than the outer chamfered face. A length L2 of the inner chamfered face is larger than a length L1 of the outer chamfered face, namely L1<L2, as viewed in lateral section taken along a rotation axis of the cylindrical base body.
