An image forming apparatus includes an apparatus main body, a conductive member, a contact spring, a hollow cylinder, and a drum unit attachable to and detachable from the apparatus main body. The conductive member is disposed in the drum unit. The contact spring is disposed in the apparatus main body and comes in electrically conductive contact with the conductive member. The hollow cylinder is disposed in the apparatus main body. The contact spring has a contact part and a helical spring part. The contact part is provided on the helical spring part. The contact part is retractable in and out of the hollow cylinder. The helical spring part is contained in the hollow cylinder and urges the contact part in a direction for causing the contact part to protrude from the hollow cylinder. The contact part has a longitudinal shape elongated along an axis of the helical spring part.
