We present the first edition of a catalog of variable stars found in the Magellanic Clouds using OGLE-II data obtained during four years: 1997-2000. The catalog covers about 7 square degrees of the sky - 21 fields in the Large Magellanic Cloud and 11 fields in the Small Magellanic Cloud. All variables were found with the Difference Image Analysis (DIA) software. The catalog is divided into two sections. The DC section contains FITS reference images (obtained by co-adding 20 best frames for each field) and profile photometry (DoPHOT) of all variable stars on those images. The AC section contains flux variations and magnitudes of detected variable stars obtained with DIA as well as with DoPHOT. The results are available in electronic form via FTP and through WWW interface from the OGLE internet archive. Typically, there are about 400 I-band data points and about 30 V and B-band data points for over 68,000 variables. A detailed analysis and classification of variable stars will be presented elsewhere. The FTP catalog contains approximately 2Gbytes of data.
