We develop perturbative QCD factorization theorem for the semileptonic heavy baryon decay $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c l\bar{\nu}$, whose form factors are expressed as the convolutions of hard $b$ quark decay amplitudes with universal $\Lambda_b$ and $\Lambda_c$ baryon wave functions. Large logarithmic corrections are organized to all orders by the Sudakov resummation, which renders perturbative expansions more reliable. It is observed that perturbative QCD is applicable to $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c$ decays for velocity transfer greater than 1.2. Under requirement of heavy quark symmetry, we predict the branching ratio $B(\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c l{\bar\nu})\sim 2%$, and determine the $\Lambda_b$ and $\Lambda_c$ baryon wave functions.
