We derive N = 1, 2 superfield equations as the conditions for a (nonlinear)theory of one abelian N = 1 or N = 2 vector multiplet to be duality invariant.The N = 1 super Born-Infeld action is a particular solution of thecorresponding equation. A family of duality invariant nonlinear N = 1supersymmetric theories is described. We present the solution of the N = 2duality equation which reduces to the N = 1 Born-Infeld action when the (0,1/2)part of N = 2 vector multiplet is switched off. We also propose a constructiveperturbative scheme to compute duality invariant N = 2 superconformal actions.Comment: 19 pages, latex, no figures; an appendix, Comments, references added; to appear in JHE
