In this paper, we investigate the superconvergence property of a time-dependent nonlinear Schrödinger equation with the bilinear finite element method on the rectangular mesh. We prove the superclose error estimate in $H^1$-norm with order $\mathcal{O}(h^2)$ between the approximated solution and the elliptic projection of the exact solution. Moreover, we obtain the global superconvergence result in $H^1$-norm with order $\mathcal{O}(h^2)$ by the interpolation post-processing operator.
