Role of cosmological magnetic field and cosmological magnetic helicity for astrophysics is considered. We discuss possible mechanisms for cosmological magnetic field production in the early universe as well as upper observational estimate for such field. The general conclusion is that a substantial cosmological field with a non-vanishing magnetic helicity can be generated in the early universe and survive up to the epoch of galaxy formation.
