We find an interpretation of the complex of variational calculus in terms of the Lie conformal
algebra cohomology theory. This leads to a better understanding of both theories. In par-
ticular, we give an explicit construction of the Lie conformal algebra cohomology complex,
and endow it with a structure of a g-complex. On the other hand, we give an explicit con-
struction of the complex of variational calculus in terms of skew-symmetric poly-differential
operators.
