A fixing device includes a fixing belt, a pressuring member, a heating member, a pressing member and a supporting member. The heating member is arranged rotatably around a rotation axis and configured such that the fixing belt is sandwiched between the heating member and the pressuring member. The pressing member is configured to press the fixing belt to a side of the pressuring member and configured such that the fixing belt is sandwiched between the pressing member and the pressuring member. The supporting member has a supporting face configured to come into contact with the inner circumference face of the fixing belt. The supporting face is inclined toward inside in a radial direction of the fixing belt from both end sides to a center side of the fixing belt in the rotation axis direction.
