We analyse with the algebraic, regularisation independant, cohomological B.R.S. methods, the renormalisability of torsionless N=2 and N= 4 supersymmetric non-linear $\si$ models built on K\"ahler spaces. Surprisingly enough with respect to the common wisdom, in the case of N=2 supersymmetry, we obtain an anomaly candidate, at least in the compact K\"ahler Ricci-flat case. If its coefficient does differ from zero, such anomaly would imply the breaking of global N=2 supersymmetry and get into trouble some schemes of superstring compactification as such non-linear $\si$ models offer candidates for the superstring vacuum state. In the compact homogeneous K\"ahler case, as expected, the anomaly candidate disappears. The same phenomena occurs when one enforces N=4 supersymmetry : in that case, we obtain the first rigorous proof of the expected all-orders renormalisability -`` in the space of metrics"- of the corresponding non-linear $\si$ models.
