A developing device includes a developer carrying member for carrying a developer; a first feeding portion for supplying the developer to the developer carrying member while feeding the developer along the developer carrying member; a second feeding portion, communicating with the first feeding portion at end portions thereof, for feeding the developer in a direction opposite to a developer feeding direction of the first feeding portion while collecting the developer from the developer carrying member; and a partition wall portion for partitioning the first and second feeding portions. The partition wall portion includes an opposing portion opposing the developer carrying member with a spacing. A surface roughness of at least the opposing portion is larger than that of the developer carrying member.
