Abstract
In this paper we obtain the linear Weyl gravity in de Sitter background. Its linear form in five-dimensional ambient space notation has also been obtained. From the group theoretical point of view, we show that this conformal invariant fourth order theory in its linear form does not transform as an unitary irreducible representation of the de Sitter group.
