It happened at about 8.20am on Commercial Road in east London, near to the junction with Arbour Square, the Met Police said.
A man was pronounced dead at the scene.
He was not been named and his next of kin have yet to be informed of his death.
The driver of the lorry stopped at the scene and has not been arrested.
Commercial Road - one of the main eastern routes into the capital - is currently closed in both directions between Jubilee Street and White Horse Road while officers investigate.
There are tailbacks in both directions.
In a separate incident, a cyclist was taken to hospital with leg injuries after colliding with a lorry and a car in Loampit Vale, Lewisham.

Best wishes to family and friends -
RIP fellow rider.
