The pedestrian was rushed to Queen Elizabeth Hospital where he was later certified dead.
A passenger in one of the taxis suffered arm and shoulder injuries.
Police said the 23-year-old driver of the first taxi was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving causing death.
Neither driver was reported to have been injured in the crash which happened shortly after 3am.
