An image forming apparatus includes an image forming device, a motor, a driving gear including a first coupling, a first roller, a transmission gear meshed with the driving gear and rotatable integrally with the first roller, a second roller to rotate to convey the sheet toward the image forming device in conjunction with the first roller, an urging member urging the second roller toward the first roller, and a joint shaft connected to the first coupling at one end thereof in an axial direction. The second roller includes a second coupling arranged concentrically with a rotation shaft of the second roller. The second coupling transmits a driving force from the driving gear to the second roller. The second coupling is connected with the other end of the joint shaft in the axial direction. The second coupling in conjunction with the first coupling and the joint shaft form a universal joint.
