There is provided a torque transmitting member that appropriately maintains conductivity between an image forming apparatus body and a photosensitive drum and can suppress the occurrence of conduction failure. A torque transmitting member, which is disposed at an end portion of a photosensitive drum unit and transmits torque, includes: an cylindrical end member that includes a bearing portion at one end portion thereof and a fitting portion, which is inserted into a photosensitive drum, at the other end portion thereof; and a conductive conducting shaft member that is disposed so as to extend along a cylindrical shaft of the end member and includes a conductive material, which is elastically deformed, on at least a part thereof.
