An original notion of combinatorial scalar curvature of cells in a cell complex is proposed. Properties of the Ricci curvature of a cell complex are studied and compared with corresponding properties of Riemannian manifolds. An analogue of the classical Bochner theorem about topological characteristics of a cell complex with positive combinatorial curvature is proved.
