We examine the constraints imposed by reparametrization invariance on heavy-baryon chiral perturbation theory (HBChPT). We study the case of three flavors and consider both the strong and weak (\Delta S\=1) interaction sectors. Some of the parameters in the HBChPT Lagrangian are fixed as a consequence of reparametrization invariance. We discuss the consequences for the calculation of hyperon weak radiative decays in HBChPT.
