We present JHKs near-infrared CCD photometric study for the Galactic openclusters NGC 1641 and NGC 2394. These clusters have never been studied before,and we provide, for the first time, the cluster parameters; reddening,distance, metallicity and age. NGC 1641 is an old open cluster with age 1.6 +/-0.2 Gyr, metallicity [Fe/H] = 0.0 +/- 0.2 dex, distance modulus (m-M)_0 = 10.4+/- 0.3 mag (d = 1.2 +/- 0.2 kpc), and reddening E(B-V) = 0.10 +/- 0.05 mag.The parameters for the other old open cluster NGC 2394 are estimated to be age= 1.1 +/- 0.2 Gyr, [Fe/H] = 0.0 +/- 0.2 dex, (m-M)_0 = 9.1 +/- 0.4 mag (d = 660+/- 120 pc), and E(B-V) = 0.05 +/- 0.10 mag. The metallicities and distancevalues for these two old open clusters are consistent with the relation betweenthe metallicities and the Galactocentric distances of other old open clusters.We find the metallicity gradient of 53 old open clusters including NGC 1641 andNGC 2394 to be Delta [Fe/H]/Delta R_gc = -0.067 +/- 0.009 dex/kpc.Comment: Accepted by the Journal of the Korean Astronomical Society, 2006  December issue (Vol. 39, No. 4
