An electrophotographic photosensitive member has a substrate, a photosensitive layer and an intermediate layer spaced between said substrate and said photosensitive layer. The intermediate layer contains a polyamide resin grafted with a polymer or a copolymer having a unit component expressed by the following general formula (I) ##STR1## wherein, R.sub.1 is hydrogen atom or a methyl group, each of R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 is a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group or an aryl group or R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 in combination is a residual group necessary for forming a heterocyclic compound containing N, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are the same or different from each other. Also disclosed are an electrophotographic apparatus having the photosensitive member, and a facsimile incorporating the electrophotographic apparatus.
