The thermal leptogenesis in brane world cosmology is studied. In brane world cosmology, the expansion law is modified from the four-dimensional standard cosmological one at high temperature regime in the early universe. As a result, the well-known upper bound on the lightest light neutrino mass induced by the condition for the out-of-equilibrium decay of the lightest heavy neutrino, m~1 <~ 10-3 eV, can be moderated to be m~1 <~ 10-3 eV × (M1/Tt)2 in the case of Tt <= M1 with the lightest heavy neutrino mass (M1) and the ``transition temperature'' (Tt), at which the modified expansion law in brane world cosmology is smoothly connecting with the standard one. This implies that the degenerate mass spectrum of the light neutrinos can be consistent with the thermal leptogenesis scenario. On the other hand, if the brane world effect is too effective, thermal equilibrium state can not realize. This fact leads to the lower bound on the five-dimensional Planck mass and limits compatible inflation models.
