An image forming apparatus includes an image carrier, a transfer member, a registration roller pair, and a conveyance guide. The conveyance guide includes a first conveyance guide which faces an image-carrier-side surface of the recording medium, and a second conveyance guide which faces a transfer-member-side surface of the recording medium. The second conveyance guide has a main body portion which has a projecting portion which projects toward the first conveyance guide most in a recording-medium conveyance path, and a step portion which is formed adjacent to the projecting portion on a downstream side of the projecting portion, an elastic member which projects toward the first conveyance guide beyond a plane passing through a downstream-side end of the projecting portion and a downstream-side end of the step portion, and a film member which covers the main body portion together with the elastic member.
