abstract
We construct the graviton propagator in de Sitter space in a one-parameter family of non-covariant gauges. This family generalizes the simple gauge in which most graviton loop computations in de Sitter space have been performed. The resulting propagator has a relatively simple form and will facilitate checks of the gauge dependence of one-loop computations and proposed observables.
