An image forming apparatus, having a main body, a top cover, a first exposure device, a second exposure device, and a linkage mechanism, is provided. The top cover is pivotable about a first pivot axis. The first exposure device and the second exposure device are supported by the top cover pivotably about a second pivot axis and a third pivot axis, respectively. The second exposure device is at a position closer to the first pivot axis than the first exposure device. The linkage mechanism moves the first exposure device from a first retracted position toward a first exposing position and the second exposure device from a second retracted position toward a second exposing position in conjunction with the top cover moving between a first position and a second position. The linkage mechanism moves the first exposure device at a timing later than the second exposure device.
