We calculate the branching ratios of the hadronic \Lambda_b decays to \eta and \eta^\prime in the factorization approximation where the form factors are estimated via QCD sum rules and the pole model. Our results indicate that, contrary to B\to K\eta^{(\prime)} decays, the branching ratios for \Lambda_b\to\Lambda\eta and \Lambda_b\to\Lambda\eta^\prime are more or less the same in the hadronic \Lambda_b transitions. We estimate the branching ratio of \Lambda_b\to\Lambda\eta^{(\prime)} to be 10.80 (10.32)\times 10^{-6} in QCD sum rules, and 2.78 (2.96)\times 10^{-6} in the pole model. We also estimate the nonfactorizable gluon fusion contribution to \Lambda_b\to\Lambda\eta^\prime decay by dividing this process into strong and weak vertices. Our results point to an enhancement of more than an order of magnitude due to this mechanism.
