Abstract
Suppose the ground field is algebraically closed and of characteristic zero. We prove that any finite-dimensional Cartan Lie superalgebra is generated by one element. Combined with a result due to Albuquerque and Elduque for classical Lie superalgebras, this implies that any finite-dimensional Lie superalgebra is generated by one element.
