PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a process cartridge that can prevent leakage of electricity from a wire electrode to a grid electrode even if the size of the process cartridge is reduced. SOLUTION: The process cartridge 50 includes a photoreceptor (photosensitive drum 53) on which an electrostatic latent image is formed, a charger, which charges the photoreceptor, and a process frame (drum frame 52) having an exposure opening (exposure hole 55) through which an exposure member for exposing the photoreceptor passes stretched. The charger includes a charged wire, a grid, the wire electrode that applies a voltage to the charged wire, and the grid electrode that applies a voltage to the grid. The wire-side body connecting portion 136 of the wire electrode connected to a body electrode on the image forming apparatus side and the grid-side body connecting portion 124 of the grid electrode are provided at positions where the exposure opening 55 is sandwiched therebetween as viewed from a direction in which the charged wire is stretched.
