We report on the perturbative O(α_s) correction to the light-cone QCD sum rule for the B→π transition form factor f^+. The correction to the product f_Bf^+ in leading twist approximation is found to be about 30 is similar in magnitude to the corresponding O(α_s) correction in the two-point sum rule for f_B. The resulting cancellation of large QCD corrections in f^+ eliminates one important uncertainty in the sum-rule prediction for this form factor.
