In mathematics, the exterior bundle of a manifold M is the subbundle of the tensor bundle consisting of all antisymmetric covariant tensors. It has special significance, because one can define a connection-independent derivative on it, namely the exterior derivative.

Sections of the exterior bundle are differential forms on M.
