We formulate a general multi-mode Gaussian operator basis for fermions, to enable a positive phase-space representation of correlated Fermi states. The Gaussian basis extends existing bosonic phase-space methods to Fermi systems and thus enables first-principles dynamical or equilibrium calculations in quantum many-body Fermi systems. We prove the completeness and positivity of the basis, and derive differential forms for products with one- and two-body operators. Because the basis satisfies fermionic superselection rules, the resulting phase space involves only c-numbers, without requiring anti-commuting Grassmann variables.
