PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a transferring unit that has a simple structure for making rotating body (transfer roller) approach and for making the rotating body move away from a contacted member (transfer belt), and to provide an image forming apparatus. SOLUTION: The transfer unit of the image forming apparatus includes the contacted member so that the rotating body that contacts and is selectively spaced away from the contacted member; a rotating body transport member where a support part to rotatably support the rotating body, a contacting external force receiving part to receive a contacting external force that contacts the rotating body with the contacted member, and a spacing external force receiving part to receive a spacing external force that spaces the rotating body away from the contacted member are formed in a single body; and a driver that drives the rotating body transport member.
