Light supernuclei with nonzero charm which are the analogs of hypernuclei have been studied using a one-boson-exchange potential model and SU(4) symmetry. Bound supernuclei such as $C_{1}N (I=\frac{3}{2},J=0)$, $C_1\mathrm{NN} \mathrm{}(I=2,J=0\mathrm{})\mathrm{}$, and $C_0\mathrm{NN} (I=0, J=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{and} \frac{3}{2})$ are predicted with reasonable binding energies. An estimate of $C_0$ binding in nuclear matter is also presented.
