  The implications of chiral $SU(3)_L \times SU(3)_R$ symmetry and heavy quark
symmetry for the radiative decays $D^{*0}\to D^0\gamma$, $D^{*+}\to D^+\gamma$,
and $D_s^*\to D_s\gamma$ are discussed. Particular attention is paid to $SU(3)$
violating contributions of order $m_q^{1/2}$. Experimental data on these
radiative decays provide constraints on the $D^* D\pi$ coupling.
