A sheet conveying device includes a sheet loading unit for loading sheets thereon, a sheet conveyance path, a sheet feeding member, a driver, a stopper, and an interlocking unit. The sheet is conveyed from the sheet loading unit in a predetermined conveyance direction on the sheet conveyance path. The sheet feeding member is arranged at an entrance side of the sheet conveyance path, and conveys the sheet by being driven and rotated. The driver rotates the sheet feeding member. The stopper is projectable into or retractable from the sheet conveyance path at a side upstream of the sheet feeding member in the conveying direction, so that the stopper prevents the contact of the sheets loaded on the sheet loading unit with the sheet feeding member when the stopper projects from the sheet conveyance path. The interlocking unit enables the stopper to project into or retract from the sheet conveyance path in conjunction with the rotation of the sheet feeding member.
