A simple complex polarized abelian variety \(A\) has complex multiplication if its endomorphism algebra \(\text{End}_0A= \text{End\,}A\otimes_{\mathbb{Z}}\mathbb{Q}\) is a totally imaginary quadratic extension of a totally real number field of degree \(\dim A\). An arbitrary complex polarized abelian variety is of CM-type if it is isogenous to a product of simple abelian varieties with complex multiplication. The paper studies the question of which algebraic curves have Jacobian varieties of CM-type. The main result (stated in Theorem 5) is that the compact Riemann surfaces with many automorphisms (in the sense of Rauch) have Jacobians of CM-type with only three exceptions: the hyperelliptic Riemann surface of genus 3 with equation \(y^2= x^8- 14x^4+ 1\) and the two Riemann surfaces of genus 4 given by the equations \({4\over 27} {(x^2- x+ 1)^3\over x^2(x- 1)^2}+ {4\over 27} {(y^2- y+ 1)^3\over y^2(y- 1)^2}= 1\), resp. \(x^n_1+\cdots+ x^n_5= 0\) for \(n= 1,2,3\).
