Officers were called at 6.41pm on Tuesday to reports of a fight at the popular north London park, which boasts panoramic views of the capital, the Metropolitan Police said.
Police officers attended the scene alongside the London Ambulance Service, who treated a 21-year-old man at the scene for stab wounds.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene despite the efforts of paramedics.
Another man, believed to be in his 20s, was found by police nearby on Regent’s Park Road with stab wounds.

“I would like to reassure the local community that the investigation is unfolding at pace and an increased police presence will remain in the area while we carry out inquiries.
“I would appeal for anyone who was in the area at the time and has any information that could help my officers to come forward.”

Last year, a teenager was locked up for at least 16 years for fatally stabbing a 16-year-old boy in the neck at a New Year’s Eve fireworks event at Primrose Hill on December 31 2023.
Areece Lloyd-Hall, 18, was jailed for a minimum of 16 years in November for murdering schoolboy Harry Pitman.
The incident happened in front of police officers and hundreds of shocked revellers.
Lloyd-Hall, from Westminster, was found guilty after two trials of murder and having an offensive weapon.
