We present radial surface brightness profiles for all five globular clusters in the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy, and for the four present members of the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy. These profiles are derived from archival Hubble Space Telescope observations, and have been calculated using the same techniques with which we measured profiles in our previous studies of Large and Small Magellanic Cloud (LMC and SMC) clusters, apart from some small modifications. From the surface brightness profiles, we have determined structural parameters for each cluster, including core radii and luminosity and mass estimates. We also provide a brief summary of literature measurements of other parameters for these clusters, including their ages, metallicities and distances.
