The decay Lambda^0_b -> J/psi Lambda is observed in 110 pb^-1 of ppbar collisions taken at sqrt s = 1.8 TeV. These data are used to measure a Lambda^0_b mass of 5621 +/- 4(stat.) +/- 3(sys.) MeV/c^2, and a mass difference between the Lambda^0_b and the B^0 of 340 +/- 1(sys.) MeV/c^2. The production cross section times branching fraction for the decay Lambda^0_b -> J/psi Lambda relative to that for the decay B^0 -> J/psi K^0_s has been measured to be 0.27 +/- 0.12(stat.) +/- 0.05(sys.).
