Emergency services were called to the intersection of William and Bourke streets, Woolloomooloo, just before 1pm, following reports an 80-year-old man had been struck by a truck.
NSW Ambulance and Paramedics confirmed the man suffered serious head injuries and went into cardiac arrest at the scene.
He was taken in a critical condition to St Vincent's Hospital, where he later died.
Kings Cross duty officer, Inspector David Vidal said that initial investigations suggested the pedestrian was "crossing the street before the collision occurred with the prime mover".
The driver of the truck was taken to Kings Cross police station for questioning. The accident was still under investigation as police continued to review CCTV in the area.
After the accident, all eastbound lanes were closed at William and Bourke streets, before they were reopened at 4.30pm.
NSW Transport are still advising motorists to expect delays in the area.
