The quantization of the Teichmuller theory has led to the formulation of the so-called Teichmuller TQFT for 3-manifolds. In this paper we initiate the study of supersymmetrization of the Teichmuller TQFT, which we call the super Teichmuller spin TQFT. We obtain concrete expressions for the partition functions of the super Teichmuller spin TQFT for a class of spin 3-manifold geometries, by taking advantage of the recent results on the quantization of the super Teichmuller theory. We then compute the perturbative expansions of the partition functions, to obtain perturbative invariants of spin 3-manifolds. We also comment on the relations of the super Teichmuller spin TQFT to 3-dimensional Chern-Simons theories with complex gauge groups, and to a class of 3d N=2 theories arising from the compactifications of the M5-branes.
