Abstract: Recently proposed supergravity theories in odd dimensions whose fields are connection one-forms for the minimal supersymmetric extensions of anti-de Sitter gravity are discussed. Two essential ingredients are required for this construction: (1) The superalgebras, which extend the adS algebra for different dimensions, and (2) the lagrangians, which are Chern-Simons $(2n-1)$-forms. The first item completes the analysis of van Holten and Van Proeyen, which was valid for N=1 only. The second ensures that the actions are invariant by construction under the gauge supergroup and, in particular, under local supersymmetry. Thus, unlike standard supergravity, the local supersymmetry algebra closes off-shell and without requiring auxiliary fields. \ The superalgebras are constructed for all dimensions and they fall into three families: $osp(m|N)$ for $D=2,3,4$, mod 8, $osp(N|m)$ for $D=6,7,8$, mod 8, and $su(m-2,2|N)$ for D=5 mod 4, with $m=2^{[D/2]}$. The lagrangian is constructed for $D=5,7$ and 11. In all cases the field content includes the vielbein ($e_{mu}^a$), the spin connection ($omeg{a}_{mu}^{ab}$), $N$ gravitini ($ps{i}_{mu}^i$), and some extra bosonic "matter" fields which vary from one dimension to another.
