Abstract We use the expansion of superalgebras procedure (summarized in the text) to derive Chern–Simons (CS) actions for the ( p , q ) -Poincare supergravities in three-dimensional spacetimes. After deriving the action for the ( p , 0 ) -Poincare supergravity as a CS theory for the expansion osp ( p | 2 ; R ) ( 2 , 1 ) of osp ( p | 2 ; R ) , we find the general ( p , q ) -Poincare superalgebras and their associated D = 3 supergravity actions as CS gauge theories from an expansion of the simple osp ( p + q | 2 , R ) superalgebras, namely osp ( p + q | 2 , R ) ( 2 , 1 , 2 ) .
