    The problem of classification of operator product expansions in conformal field theory is related to a classification of finite conformal algebras. It is based on the classification of Lie (super)algebras of vector fields on a finite dimensional (super)manifold. In the present paper the author determines up to an isomorphism infinite-dimensional linearly compact Lie superalgebras, i.e. complete topological Lie superalgebras \(\overline{L}\) admitting a fundamental system of neighborhoods of zero consisting of super-subspaces of finite codimension and having an open super-subalgebra \(\overline{L}_0\) of a finite codimension which does not contain non-zero ideals of \(\overline{L}\). The main result of the paper is a complete classification of simple infinite-dimensional linearly compact Lie superalgebras. The list of these superalgebras contains -- 8 series of completed graded superalgebras \[ \begin{gathered} \overline W (m,n),\quad \overline S(m,n), \quad \overline H (m,n),\quad \overline K (m,n), \\ \overline {HO} (m,n),\quad \overline {SHO} (m,n),\quad \overline {KO} (n,n+1),\quad \overline {SKO} (n,n+1,\beta); \end{gathered} \] -- 2 series of filtered deformations \[ \overline {SHO} (n,n)^-\quad (n \text{ even }),\quad \overline {SKO} (n,n+1)^-\quad (n \text{ odd }); \] -- 6 exceptional Lie superalgebras \[ \overline {E} (1,6),\quad \overline {E} (2,2),\quad \overline {E} (3,6),\quad \overline {E} (3,8),\quad \overline {E} (4,4),\quad \overline {E} (5,10) . \]
