It is shown that the one-loop quadratic divergences of standard supergravity can be regulated by the introduction of heavy Pauli-Villars fields belonging to chiral and abelian gauge multiplets. The resulting one-loop correction can be interpreted as a renormalization of the K\"ahler potential. Regularization of the dilaton couplings to the Yang-Mills sector requires special care, and may shed some light on chiral/linear multiplet duality of the dilaton supermultiplet.
