Police and ambulance crews were called to Green Lanes near Turnpike Lane station at 21:47 BST on Saturday to reports of a "seriously injured" man.
He had suffered stab wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene, the Metropolitan Police said.
The force has begun a murder investigation - its 74th in the capital so far this year.
Police believe they know the identity of the man, and formal identification and a post-mortem examination will take place later.
Turnpike Lane and nearby roads - including Ducketts Common, where police believe he may have been stabbed - remain cordoned off while investigations are carried out.
Turnpike Lane Tube station is open, but 15 local bus routes are being diverted.
