Electron spin resonance spectra of Fe3+ in single crystals of Sr2Ta2O7 and Sr2Nb2O7 have been investigated at 180°C and 250°C, respectively. The spectrum of Sr2Ta2O7 is attributed to four orthorhombic Fe3+ centers. Two of them show a super-hyperfine splitting at the liquid nitrogen temperature. Other two centers are also observed in Sr2Nb2O7 at 250°C. Angular dependence of the spectra are described by a spin Hamiltonian with second order terms, D and E. The ratios of E to D and the directions of the principal axes for these centers are determined. Brief discussion on the site assignment of these Fe3+ centers is given.
