The two-loop counterterms for the Wess--Zumino model on a four-dimensional anti-de Sitter space background are computed. It is shown that, as at the one-loop level, the counterterms preserve supersymmetry but the nonrenormalization theorem is violated by the addition of a divergent linear term to the superpotential.
