Thefirst-order differential Lévy-Leblond equations (LLEs) are the non-relativistic analogs of the Dirac equation, being square roots of ()-dimensional Schrödinger or heat equations. Just like the Dirac equation, the LLEs possess a natural supersymmetry. In previous works it was shown that non-supersymmetric partial differential equations (notably the Schrödinger equations for free particles or in the presence of a harmonic potential), admit a natural-graded Lie symmetry. In this paper we show that, for a certain class of supersymmetric partial differential equation, a natural-graded Lie symmetry appears. In particular, we exhaustively investigate the symmetries of the-dimensional Lévy-Leblond equations, both in the free case and for the harmonic potential. In the free case a-graded Lie superalgebra, realized by first- and second-order differential symmetry operators, is found. In the presence of a non-vanishing quadratic potential, the Schrödinger invariance is maintained, while the- and-graded extensions are no longer allowed. The construction of the-graded Lie symmetry of the ()-dimensional free heat LLE introduces a new feature, explaining the existence of first-order differential symmetry operators not entering the super Schrödinger algebra.
