PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus, in which attaching and detaching of an optical scanner to and from a mounting section of the image forming apparatus is facilitated, the optical scanner can be positioned accurately with respect to the mounting section, and deformation of a housing of the optical scanner caused by the mounting the optical scanner on the mounting section is suppressed to minimum. SOLUTION: The optical scanner 20 is provided with a leaf spring 40 that presses the optical scanner 20 to a base surface 81f of the mounting section 80, by engaging with an engaging member 83 of the mounting section, wherein the leaf spring 40 is installed in a housing recess HR formed inside the housing of the optical scanner. Consequently, in mounting, an elastic member is prevented from interfering with other components inside the image forming apparatus, which enables work efficiency to be improved in the mounting of the optical scanner.
