LETTER TO THE EDITOR

N=4 SU(2) conformal invariance is studied in harmonic superspace. The superconformal structure is solved by harmonic analyticity. Conformal tensors are primary analytic superfields Phi q completely specified by the Cartan-Weyl charge q. The conformal weight h is equal to q/2. The super-Schwarzian derivative is calculated and the infinitesimal anomaly-free transformations are discussed. It is shown that all conformal degrees of freedom are carried by variation of the harmonics.
