Vacuum metric perturbation two-point functions are found for maximally symmetric backgrounds of arbitrary dimension n, using tensor mode functions on the n-sphere and a general gauge-fixing term. The gauge-invariant part of the resulting graviton propagator is isolated, and is fully evaluated for de Sitter spaces in terms of functions of the geodesic separation.
