We present Stueckelberg mechanisms for tensor multiplets coupled to supergravity in four dimensions (4D), six dimensions (6D), and three dimensions (3D). For N=1 supergravity in 4D, our field content is (e{sub {mu}}{sup m},{psi}{sub {mu}}), (B{sub {mu}{nu},{chi}},{phi}) and (A{sub {mu},{lambda}}), respectively, for the supergravity, tensor, and vector multiplets. In our Stueckelberg mechanism, the Abelian vector field A{sub {mu}} is absorbed into the longitudinal component of the tensor B{sub {mu}{nu}}, which becomes massive. The field strength F=dA of A is replaced by F{identical_to}F+mB, where m is a coupling constant with the dimension of mass. In 6D, we utilize the so-called dual version for N=2 supergravity, in order to avoid the obstruction caused by the Chern-Simons term F and A in the B-field strength G. Instead of the F and A-term in G, the 6D Lagrangian has a peculiar topological and cubic interaction term proportional to m{sup -1}F and F and F. In 3D, we also show that a similar mechanism works for N=1 supergravity. Interestingly, the basic structure is parallel to the 4D case, except that the originally nonpropagating field B starts propagating, after absorbing the A-field. We also show a possible compactification of 6D theory on AdS{sub 3}xS{sup 3}.
