    The author gives a complete classification of compact simply-connected three-manifolds with constant eigenvalues of the Ricci tensor that admit Einstein-Dirac spinors. These spinors are eigenfunctions of the Dirac operator such that the Einstein equations hold with the energy-momentum tensor defined by the spinor in a usual way. It appears that such manifolds are the unit sphere with a Killing spinor and the three-sphere equipped with a left-invariant metric from a one-parameter family of metrics admitting Einstein-Dirac spinors.
