    The paper classifies ternary differential operators over \(n\)-dimensional manifolds. These operators act on the spaces of weighted densities and are invariant with respect to the Lie algebra of vector fields. For \(n = 1,\) some of them can be expressed in terms of the de~Rham exterior differential, the Poisson bracket, the Grozman operator, and the Feigin--Fuchs antisymmetric operators; four of the operators are new up to dualizations and permutations. In the case of \(n > 1,\) the author lists multidimensional conformal transvectors, i.e., operators acting on the spaces of weighted densities and invariant with respect to \(\mathfrak o(p+1,q+1)\) with \(p+q=n.\) With the exception of the scalar operator, these conformally invariant operators are not invariant with respect to the whole Lie algebra of vector fields.
