  We present recent results from the \babar Collaboration on radiative decays.
These include searches for new physics via measurements of several observables
such as the time-dependent $CP$ asymmetry in $B^0 \to K^0_S \pi^- \pi^+ \gamma$
exclusive decays, as well as direct $CP$ asymmetries and branching fractions in
$B \to X_s \gamma$ and $B \to X_s \ell^+ \ell^-$ inclusive decays.
