Idea

A super-orbifold is an orbifold in supergeometry, hence like a supermanifold but possibly with singularities of the form of fixed points of local actions on the supermanifold by finite groups.

Examples

Moduli space of super-Riemann surfaces

Just like the moduli space of Riemann surfaces is an orbifold, so the moduli space of super-Riemann surfaces is a super-orbifold (e.g. Rabin 87, LeBrun-Rothstein 88, Witten 12, Codogni-Viviani 17).
