"Litvinenko died at the University College London at 9:21 p.m. (2121 GMT) ..., " a spokesman for the hospital said, reading a statement.
"He was seriously ill when he was admitted to UCH on Friday November 17 and the medical team at the hospital said it did everything possible to save his life," he said.
The critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin had said he fell ill after meeting two Russians at a hotel. He had been investigating the killing of Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya, also a vocal critic of Putin, who was gunned down at her Moscow flat on October 7.
Britain's anti-terrorism police were called in to investigate the case after doctors determined last week his illness was caused by poison.
Litvinenko's friends accuse the Kremlin of orchestrating a plot to poison him, but Russia has dismissed the allegation as "nonsense."
