Mr Crow led the tube and railway workers union since 2002, and oversaw a series of strikes over pay and conditions.
The Rail, Maritime and Transport union said in a brief statement: "It is with the deepest regret that RMT has to confirm that our general secretary Bob Crow sadly passed away in the early hours of this morning.
"RMT would request that all media respect the privacy of the friends and family of Bob Crow at this distressing time."
Mr Crow died at Whipps Cross hospital in Leytonstone, after suffering an aneurysm and a "massive" heart attack, the BBC said. Medics worked for an hour to save his life.
Very surprising and sudden death.
I was opposed to the man on 99% of his politics I suspect with him being to the far left on almost every issue, although we did agree on the EU - something that's very unpopular with the Old Labour side of politics and Bob Crow was very vocal on his opposition to being in the EU from a socialist perspective: something that is sometimes looked over.
RIP.
