Abstract: The aim of this note is to define certain sheaves of vertex algebras on smooth manifolds. For each smooth complex algebraic (or analytic) manifold $X$, we construct a sheaf $Omeg{a}_X^{ch}$, called the {�f chiral de Rham complex} of $X$. It is a sheaf of vertex algebras in the Zarisky (or classical) topology, It comes equipped with a $BZ$-grading by {it fermionic charge}, and the {it chiral de Rham differential} $d_{DR}^{ch}$, which is an endomorphism of degree 1 such that $(d_{DR}^{ch}{)}^2=0$. One has a canonical embedding of the usual de Rham complex $(Omeg{a}_X,d_{DR})hra(Omeg{a}_X^{ch},d_{DR}^{ch})$ which is a quasiisomorphism. If $X$ is Calabi-Yau then this sheaf admits an N=2 supersymmetry. For some $X$ (for example, for curves or for the flag spaces $G/B$), one can construct also a purely even analogue of this sheaf, a {it chiral structure sheaf} $C{O}_X^{ch}$. For the projective line, the space of global sections of the last sheaf is the irreducible vacuum $hsl(2)$-module on the critical level.
