PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image heating device capable of preventing grease from laterally overflowing with inexpensive and simple constitution, and an image forming apparatus equipped with the same. SOLUTION: The image heating device 11 includes a heating body 23, a stay 21 holding the heating body 23, an endless film 22 held around the stay 21, a flange 26 which restricts end positions of the film 22 at both ends of the stay 21, a pressure roller 24 which rotates the film 22 while pressed against the heating body 23 with the film 22 interposed, and the grease interposed between the heating body 23 and film 22. The stay 21 has grease reservoir recessed parts 25 for preventing the grease from laterally overflowing the ends of the film 22 downstream from the heating body 23 in the rotating direction of the film 22 at positions corresponding to both the ends of the film 22 in a direction orthogonal to the rotating direction.
