PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image heating device capable of preventing the problem due to the movement of the connective portion of the magnetic flux controlling means into a preset magnetic flux controlling position. SOLUTION: The image heating device includes; a magnetic flux generating means; a heat generating element for generating heat by a magnetic flux from the magnetic flux generating means; a magnetic flux suppressing member for suppressing the magnetic flux directed toward the heat generating element from the magnetic flux generating means, the magnetic flux suppressing member including a magnetic flux suppressing portion for suppressing the magnetic flux directed toward a prescribed region of the heat generating element at a predetermined magnetic flux suppressing position and a connecting portion connecting with the magnetic flux suppressing portion in a longitudinal direction of the heat generating element to hold the magnetic flux suppressing portion; and moving means for moving the magnetic flux suppressing member to a magnetic flux suppressing position or to a retracted position. In the image heating device for heating an image on a recording material by heat generated by the heat generating element, the connecting portion has a regulating member for preventing movement to the magnetic flux suppressing position.
