PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fixing device that fixes a reflecting plate with a simple configuration and ensures the rigidity of a nip plate. SOLUTION: The fixing device 100 for thermally fixing a developer image transferred to paper P includes: a cylindrical fixing film 110; a halogen lamp 120 disposed inside the fixing film 110; a nip plate 130 disposed so as to slide over the internal surface of the fixing film 110; a reflecting plate 140 for reflecting radiation heat from the halogen lamp 120 toward the nip plate 130; a pressure roller 150 for forming a nip between the fixing film 110 and the pressure roller itself by sandwiching the fixing film 110 between the nip plate 130 and the pressure roller; and a stay 160 for supporting both ends 131B of the nip plate 130 in the direction of conveyance of the paper P. The reflecting plate 140 has a flange 142 extending along the direction of conveyance of the paper P and is supported with the flange 142 sandwiched between the nip plate 130 and stay 160.
