A developing device includes a casing having an opening extending in a first direction, a developing roller, a thickness-regulation portion, a sealing member and a contact portion. The thickness-regulation portion includes a thin-plate member and a regulating portion. The thin-plate member has a base end portion fixed to the casing and a free end portion to which the regulating portion is fixed. The thin-plate member has a lateral end extending in a second direction. The regulating portion has an end face extending in a direction. The sealing member is disposed on the thin-plate member and in intimate contact with the end face of the regulating portion. The contact portion is fixed on the thin-plate member at a position closer to the lateral end than the sealing member to the lateral end and made of a material whose hardness is higher than that of the sealing member. |
