PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accurately read an image while preventing an original from being skewed. SOLUTION: An image reading apparatus comprises a conveyance rotating body for conveying an original, a reading sensor for reading an image of the original being conveyed by the conveyance rotating body, and a plate-like member which is provided while facing a reading surface of the reading sensor, for pressing the original being conveyed by the conveyance rotating body against the reading surface of the reading sensor, wherein the plate-like member is curved such that the central part thereof as viewed in the direction orthogonal to the conveying direction of the original first comes in contact with the reading surface of the reading sensor.
