A coating apparatus includes a coating member, a pressing member, an abutment member, and a restriction member. The coating member coats a sheet with a coating agent. The pressing member is movable and abuts on the coating member to form a nip. The abutment member abuts on the coating member at a position different from a position of the nip. The restriction member restricts movement of the coating member in a separation direction in which the coating member separates from the abutment member.
