The positions (the coordinates and the offset from the nucleus of the host) of extragalactic supernovae (SNe) are very important for further research into their nature. The positions reported in the literature are, however, sometimes erroneous. Here we give the precise coordinates of three SNe based on the recently-developed star catalogs. The standard deviations of the positions are expected to be sub-arcsecond, which can be better than the offsets from the ambiguous nuclei of the host galaxies.
