The coupling gB*Bπ is related to the form factor at zero momentum of the axial current between B*- and B-states. This form factor is evaluated on the lattice using static heavy quarks and light quark propagators determined by a stochastic inversion of the fermionic bilinear. The gB*Bπ coupling is related to the coupling g between heavy mesons and low-momentum pions in the effective heavy meson chiral lagrangian. The coupling of the effective theory can therefore be computed by numerical simulations. We find the value g = 0.42(4)(8). Besides its theoretical interest, the phenomenological implications of such a determination are discussed.
