A brief survey of known eclipsing binaries and cataclysmic variables in globular cluster fields is presented. None of the 47 known or suspected eclipsing variables is a promising candidate, although a very few remain possible members. V101 in M5 is a good candidate for membership, among 5 known or suspected dwarf novae. Three novae have been discovered in globular cluster fields, of which two are almost certainly members. Attention is also called to the eclipsing binary V80, a system which appears to contain an RRc variable, in the dwarf spheroidal galaxy in Ursa Minor.
