A fixing device includes a fixing belt, a pressure member that contacts the outer peripheral surface of the fixing belt, and at least one fixed sliding member on which the fixing belt slides. The fixed sliding member contacts the inner peripheral surface of the fixing belt. At least one of the fixing belt and the fixed sliding member includes a non-continuous diamond-like carbon layer on a sliding surface between the fixing belt and the fixed sliding member. The non-continuous diamond-like carbon layer is formed from a plurality of diamond-like carbon layer portions that are separated from one another by grooves.
