A sheet stacking device including: a stacking unit; and a regulation member movably supported by the stacking unit and contacting a sheet edge to regulate a sheet position. The regulation member includes: a locking member movable between an engagement position and a disengagement position; a biasing member biasing the locking member toward the engagement position; a force receiver receiving a user operation; a releaser converting a first force in a first direction applied to the force receiver into a second force in a second direction opposing a biasing force from the biasing member, moving the locking member from the engagement position to the disengagement position; and a stopper that, after the locking member disengages from the engaging portion and a user operation is not applied to the force receiver, prevents a movement of the locking member back to the engagement position due to the biasing force from the biasing member.
