PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lubricant applicator having such a structure that when a good transferred image free of abnormal images such as vermiculation, image blur and roughness in the transferred image is obtained by lubricant application, insufficient application of a lubricant and soiling of a peripheral part can be prevented. SOLUTION: The lubricant applicator has a lubricant applying member 50 capable of applying a lubricant 60 to a surface of an image bearing member which is movable in a predetermined direction under contact with the surface, wherein in the vicinity of the lubricant applying member 50 on an upstream side in the moving direction of the image bearing member 2, a lubricant scattering preventing member 70 is disposed in such a way that it faces to a surface of the lubricant applying member 50 in a range corresponding to a moving process from contact of the lubricant applying member 50 with the lubricant 60 to contact with the image bearing member 2.
