In contexts including [[complex manifold]]s and [[algebraic geometry]], a '''logarithmic''' [[differential form]] is a meromorphic differential form with [[pole (complex analysis)|poles]] of a certain kind.
 
Let ''X'' be a complex manifold, and ''D'' ⊂ ''X'' a [[divisor]] and ω a holomorphic ''p''-form on ''X''−''D''. If ω and ''d''ω have a pole of order at most one along ''D'', then ω is said to have a logarithmic pole along ''D''. ω is also known as a logarithmic ''p''-form. The logarithmic ''p''-forms make up a [[Sheaf (mathematics)|subsheaf]] of the meromorphic ''p''-forms on ''X'' with a pole along ''D'', denoted

By definition of <math>\Omega^p_X(\log D)</math> and the fact that exterior differentiation ''d'' satisfies ''d''<sup>2</sup> = 0, one has
:<math> d\Omega^p_X(\log D)(U)\subset \Omega^{p+1}_X(\log D)(U) </math>.
This implies that there is a complex of sheaves <math>( \Omega^{\bullet}_X(\log D), d) </math>, known as the ''holomorphic log complex'' corresponding to the divisor ''D''. This is a subcomplex of <math> j_*\Omega^{\bullet}_{X-D} </math>, where <math> j:X-D\rightarrow X </math> is the inclusion and <math> \Omega^{\bullet}_{X-D} </math> is the complex of sheaves of holomorphic forms on ''X''−''D''.
 
Of special interest is the case where ''D'' has simple [[normal crossings]]. Then if <math> \{D_{\nu}\} </math> are the smooth, irreducible components of ''D'', one has <math> D = \sum D_{\nu} </math> with the <math> D_{\nu} </math> meeting transversely. Locally ''D'' is the union of hyperplanes, with local defining equations of the form <math> z_1\cdots z_k = 0 </math> in some holomorphic coordinates. One can show that the stalk of <math> \Omega^1_X(\log D) </math> at ''p'' satisfies<ref name="foo">Chris A.M. Peters; Joseph H.M. Steenbrink (2007). Mixed Hodge Structures. Springer.

which has a simple pole along ''D''. The Poincaré residue <ref name = "foo2"/> of ω along ''D'' is given by the holomorphic one-form
:<math> \text{Res}_D(\omega) = \frac{dy}{\partial g/\partial x}|_D =-\frac{dx}{\partial g/\partial y}|_D = -\frac{1}{2}\frac{dx}{y}|_D </math>.
Vital to the residue theory of logarithmic forms is the [[Gysin sequence]], which is in some sense a generalization of the [[Residue Theorem]] for compact Riemann surfaces. This can be used to show, for example, that <math>dx/y|_D </math> extends to a holomorphic one-form on the [[Projective_spaceProjective space#Projective_space_and_affine_spaceProjective space and affine space|projective closure]] of ''D'' in '''P'''<sup>2</sup>, a smooth elliptic curve.
