An electrophotographic photosensitive member having excellent sensitivity characteristics is provided. An electrophotographic photosensitive member 1 includes a conductive substrate 2 and a photosensitive layer 3, and the photosensitive layer 3 is a single layer. The photosensitive layer 3 contains a charge generating agent and a compound represented by the formula (1). In general formula (1), R 1 represents an aryl group, an alkyl group, an aralkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, or an alkoxy group. [Selected figure] Figure 1 |
