A simple mean field dynamo model is developed and applied to two `dynamo-active' components of a close or contact binary system. Tidal interaction is assumed to reduce differential rotation to such a degree that the dynamo action is of `α^2^' type. A variety of nonaxisymmetric magnetic fields are produced, steady and unsteady, of both odd, even and mixed parity with respect to the equatorial plane. The relevance of the solutions to evidence for large-scale fields in close and contact binary systems is discussed.
