The motion of a soliton in a supergravity background configuration is studied. The dynamics of the soliton is described by a trajectory in curved N=2 superspace. For the proposed Lagrangian, the momenta, the constraints, and the generators of local supertranslations are displayed. An additional local gauge symmetry is exhibited. Special emphasis is laid on the classical equations of motion. These turn out to be a supersymmetric generalization of the Mathisson-Papapetrou equation of motion for a spinning particle in a gravitational field.
