N2 - We classify the Lie superalgebra deformations of the Killing superalgebras of some M-theory backgrounds. We show that the Killing superalgebras of the Minkowski, Freund-Rubin and M5-brane backgrounds are rigid, whereas the ones for the M-wave, the Kaluza-Klein monopole and the M2-brane admit deformations, which we give explicitly.
