This paper analyses the Noether symmetries and the corresponding conservation laws for Chern-Simons Lagrangians in dimension d = 3. In particular, we find an expression for the superpotential of Chern-Simons gravity. As a byproduct the general discussion of superpotentials for third-order natural and quasi-natural theories is also given.
