The married mother-of-three, who was made CBE for charitable services in June, had raised £1.75m in a series of gruelling challenges.
She died at St Gemma's Hospice in Leeds at 2100 BST on Monday.
Mrs Tomlinson was told she had breast cancer doctors gave her just a few months to live.
She has since drawn praise from around the world for feats which have included cycling across the US, taking part in the notorious Florida Ironman event and cycling from Rome to her home in Leeds, West Yorkshire.
