A recording medium transporting device includes a transporting unit that transports a recording medium; a guide member that supports and guides the recording medium in a downstream direction, the guide member being disposed downstream of the transporting unit; and a restraining unit that includes a restraining member having a restraining section, the restraining section being movable relative to the guide member. The restraining section imposes a restraint on the recording medium to prevent the recording medium from rising above the guide member at a position downstream of the transporting unit. A restriction state of the restraining member is switchable between at least two states, and the restriction state is switched so that a degree of the restraint is reduced or the restraint is removed before a trailing edge of the recording medium passes the restraining section.
