A reading device (200) includes a reader (210) disposed at a scanning position, the reader being configured to read an image formed on a surface of a sheet (P), a movement mechanism (221, 222, 223) configured to move the reader (210) between the scanning position and a separated position away from the scanning position, and a reference plate (230) disposed at a first position facing a reading face (210a) of the reader (210), the reference plate being configured to obtain a reference value to be used when the reader (210) reads the image. The reference plate (230) is configured to rotate around an axis (231) from a second position facing a side (210b) of the reader (210) to the first position or from the first position to the second position in conjunction with movement of the reader (210) from the scanning position to the separated position by the movement mechanism (221, 222, 223) or movement of the reader (210) from the separated position to the scanning position, and the reader (210) includes an abutment part (211) contacting the reference plate (230) when the reference plate (230) rotates around the axis (231), and the abutment part (211) maintains clearance between the reader (210) and the reference plate (230).
