We find and classify the N=1 SUSY multiplets on AdS₄ which contain partially massless fields. We do this by studying the non-unitary representations of the d = 3 superconformal algebra of the boundary. The simplest super-multiplet which contains a partially massless spin-2 particle also contains a massless photon, a massless spin-3/2 particle and a massive spin-3/2 particle. The gauge parameters form a Wess-Zumino super-multiplet which contains the gauge parameters of the photon, the partially massless graviton, and the massless spin-3/2 particle. We find the AdS₄ action and SUSY transformations for this multiplet. More generally, we classify new types of shortening conditions that can arise for non-unitary representations of the d = 3 superconformal algebra.
