The paper studies the internal and boundary null controllability of a parabolic equation with superlinear nonlinearity. It has been proved that under certain conditions on the superlinear nonlinearity term the equation is internal null controllable. This also implies the boundary controllability. The proof is based on Kakutani's fixed-point theorem and on Carleman estimates for the backward adjoint linearized system.
