Abstract: We construct codimension-2 BPS brane solutions in D=9,8,7 maximal supergravities by solving Killing spinor equations. We assume the Poincare invariance along the worldvolume and vanishing gauge fields, and determine the metric and the scalar fields. The solution in D=9 is essentially the same as the ten-dimensional one, which is specified by a holomorphic function in the transverse space. For D=8, the solution is specified by two holomorphic functions, and regarded as T2imesT2 compactification of F-theory. For D=7, we find that the solution can be interpreted as M-theory on Calabi-Yau, and under an additional assumption a solution is specified by two holomorphic functions.
