A fixing device, comprising:

• a belt member;
• a pressing member that forms a passer between the pressing member and the belt member, the passer passing while pressing a recording medium;
• a first member that comes into contact with the belt member on an inner side of the belt member, the first member receiving pressing force in a first direction from the pressing member;
• a second member that is disposed on the inner side of the belt member, the second member receiving pressing force of the pressing member with the first member interposed therebetween;
• and
• a support member interposed between the first member and the second member, the support member supporting the first member so that an area over which the support member supports the first member and an area over which the support member is supported by the second member overlap in the first direction,
• wherein two opposite ends of the first member in a movement direction of the belt member are in contact with the support member.
