This invention provides an electrophotographic photoreceptor having improved resistance to soiling by a human body-derived substance and a high image stability. The electrophotographic photoreceptor comprises an electroconductie substrate and a photosensitive layer provided on the substrate and is characterized in that the photosensitive layer contains, as a binder resin, a polycarbonate resin comprising constituent units represented by the following formula (A) and the following formula (B), wherein R1 to R4 represent a hydrogen atom, a methyl group or the like; and X represents an alkylene group or the like. 3 to 50% by weight of the total constituent units is accounted for by the constituent units of formula (A) and the intrinsic viscosity is 0.3 to 2 dl/g. [Chemical formula 1] (A)(B).
