An electrophotographic photosensitive member that suppresses cracking of an inorganic protective layer is provided. A conductive substrate 1 and an organic photosensitive layer (for example, a charge generation layer 2 and a charge transport layer 3 or a single-layer type organic photosensitive layer 6) provided on the conductive substrate 1 and having a surface thereof. The electrophotographic photosensitive member includes an organic photosensitive layer containing a charge transport material, a binder resin, silica particles, and a silicone compound, and an inorganic protective layer 5 provided on the organic photosensitive layer.
