PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrophotographic photoreceptor excellent in electric characteristics and capable of realizing high image quality, and an image forming apparatus and a process cartridge using the same. An electrophotographic photosensitive member of the present invention includes a conductive support 2 and a photosensitive layer 3, and a phenol derivative having a methylol group and a hydroxyl group at a position where the photosensitive layer 3 is farthest from the conductive support 2. A phenol derivative-containing layer 7 containing a charge transport material having at least one selected from a carboxyl group, an alkoxysilyl group, an epoxy group, a thiol group, and an amino group, and the phenol derivative-containing layer 7 The infrared absorption spectrum satisfies the condition represented by the formula (1). In the formula (1), P 1 is the absorbance of the maximum absorption peaks at 1560cm -1 ~1640cm -1, P 2 represents the absorbance of the maximum absorption peaks at 1645cm -1 ~1700cm -1. (P 2 / P 1 ) ≦ 0.2 (1) [Selection] Figure 2 |
