A belt device includes a cleaning unit having a cleaning member that abuts a belt and cleans a front surface of the belt. A tension roller includes a deviation suppression mechanism on one side of and in a width direction of the tension roller. The width direction intersects a transport direction of the belt. The deviation suppression mechanism suppresses deviation of the belt in the width direction by tilting a rotary shaft of the tension roller. The cleaning member has one side in the width direction tiltable that follows tilting of the tension roller. The cleaning unit includes a port, for discharging toner removed from the front surface of the belt, on a downstream side of the cleaning member and in a transport direction of the toner. The downstream side is another side in the width direction.
