To provide a sheet material position correction device in which the width direction position of a driven roller with respect to the drive roller is corrected within a short time without largely deviating, even though it is configured in such a manner that a conveyance roller pair which comprises a drive roller and a driven roller for holding and conveying a sheet material is provided, and the driven roller can be driven in the width direction according as moving means moves the drive roller in the width direction; and an image forming apparatus.

Moving means moves a drive roller 33A toward a moving direction of either one end side of the width direction or the other end side of the width direction, and corrects the width direction position of the sheet material; thereafter, in a state where the sheet material is not held, moves a drive roller 34A in the reverse direction with respect to the moving direction until a driven roller 33B in a state where its width direction position is deviated becomes abutted against a stopper part 36a1, and even after that, further moves the drive roller 33A in the reverse direction to a prescribed position with the driven roller 33B being abutted against the stopper part 36a1.
