An image forming apparatus includes a fixing member and a conveying guide member. The conveying guide member is arranged on the downstream side of the fixing member in the sheet conveying direction and forms a conveying passage for a sheet passed through a fixing nip portion. The conveying guide member is provided with an opening portion which is open toward the fixing member near the downstream side of the fixing nip portion in the sheet conveying direction and which allows the inside and the outside of the conveying passage to communicate with each other, and is fitted with an static eliminating member which projects from outside the conveying portion via the opening portion into the conveying passage and which touches the sheet passed through the fixing nip portion to remove electric charges.
