We study the effect of large baryonic isocurvature perturbations on the abundance of deuterium (D) synthesized in big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN). We found that large baryonic isocurvature perturbations existing at the BBN epoch (T ~ 0.1 MeV) change the D abundance by the second order effect, which, together with the recent precise D measurement, leads to a constraint on the amplitude of the power spectrum of the baryon isocurvature perturbations. The obtained constraint on the amplitude is p_{S_E} ≲ 0.016 (2σ) for scale k^-1 ≳ 0.0025 pc. This gives the most stringent one for 0.1Mpc^-1≲ k ≲ 4×10⁸ Mpc^-1. We apply the BBN constraint to the relaxation leptogenesis scenario, where large baryon isocurvature perturbations are produced in the last N_last e-fold of inflation, and we obtain a constraint on N_last.
