An image forming apparatus includes an image forming portion that forms an image on a medium, a casing that houses the image forming portion, a power operating portion for use in switching on and off the main power source of the image forming apparatus, and a touch operation portion for use in inputting operations on the image forming apparatus. Assuming that a direction in which the casing faces a user when the touch operation portion is used is a front-to-back direction, the power operating portion is disposed at a one side in a lateral direction crossing the front-to-back direction at a front of the casing in the front-to-back direction, and the touch operation portion is disposed at an other side at the front of the casing in the front-to-back direction.
