To provide a Si photosensitive member and an image forming apparatus which prevents toner adherence at the time of cleaning and forms an excellent image, an electrophotographic photosensitive member comprising a photoconductive layer including amorphous Si and a surface protective layer which are formed on an electroconductive substrate has a difference in the height of concave and convex corresponding to 90% and 50% of a cumulative frequency of the height of concave and convex with respect to the most deepest point of surface roughness concave and convex within a range of 10 &mgr;m×10 &mgr;m of the photosensitive member as a standard which is set within a range of 3 nm to 200 nm.
