Superplan was a high-level programming language developed between 1949 and 1951 by Heinz Rutishauser, the name being a reference to "{{lang|de|Rechenplan}}" (i.e. computation plan), in Konrad Zuse's terminology designating a single {{lang|de|Plankalkül}} program.
The language was described in Rutishauser's 1951 publication {{lang|de|Über automatische Rechenplanfertigung bei programmgesteuerten Rechenmaschinen}} (i.e. Automatically created Computation Plans for Program-Controlled Computing Machines).
Superplan introduced the keyword {{Wikt-lang|de|für}} as for loop, which had the following form ( being an array item):
Für i=base(increment)limit: + addend =
