Abstract: In this paper we present a covariant quantization of the ``massive spin-2 field on de Sitter (dS) space. By ``massive we mean a field which carries a specific principal series representation of the dS group. The work is in the direct continuation of previous ones concerning the scalar, the spinor and the vector cases. The quantization procedure, independent of the choice of the coordinate system, is based on the Wightman-Garding axiomatic and on analyticity requirements for the two-point function in the complexified pseudo-Riemanian manifold. Such a construction is necessary in view of preparing and comparing with the dS conformal spin-2 massless case (dS linear quantum gravity) which will be considered in a forthcoming paper and for which specific quantization methods are needed.
