Abstract: We present an action for $N=1$ supergravity in $10+2$ dimensions, containing the gauge fields of the $OSp(1|64)$ superalgebra, i.e. one-forms $B^{(n)}$ with $n$=1,2,5,6,9,10 antisymmetric D=12 Lorentz indices and a Majorana gravitino $psi$. The vielbein and spin connection correspond to $B^{(1)}$ and $B^{(2)}$ respectively. The action is not gauge invariant under the full $OSp(1|64)$ superalgebra, but only under a subalgebra $ildeF$ (containing the $F$ algebra $OSp(1|32)$), whose gauge fields are $B^{(2)}$, $B^{(6)}$, $B^{(10)}$ and the Weyl projected Majorana gravitino $1over2(1+Gamm{a}_{13})psi$. Supersymmetry transformations are therefore generated by a Majorana-Weyl supercharge and, being part of a gauge superalgebra, close off-shell. The action is simply $$ where $$ is the $OSp(1|64)$ curvature supermatrix two-form, and $$ is a constant supermatrix involving $Gamm{a}_{13}$ and breaking $OSp(1|64)$ to its $ildeF$ subalgebra. The action includes the usual Einstein-Hilbert term.
