A multi-beam scanning unit is provided in which optical interference does not occur between a plurality of image-forming beams on an image-forming surface, and an image forming apparatus including the multi-beam scanning unit. The multi-beam scanning unit comprises a light unit (15) having a plurality of light-emitting points for irradiating laser beams, and a light unit controller (10) controlling the light-emitting points so that the adjacent light-emitting points do not start light emission simultaneously. A beam deflector (30) deflects laser beams irradiated by each of the light-emitting points on a photosensitive medium (50).
