A toddler has died and another young child has been seriously injured in a shed fire in northern Tasmania.

Emergency services were called to the blaze in the Launceston suburb of Mowbray around 1.30pm on Wednesday.

"The shed was fully alight when police and Tasmania Fire Service crews arrived minutes later," Tasmania Police said in a statement.

"A toddler was found deceased and another young child was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

"An adult was also taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries."

Authorities will conduct an investigation to determine the cause of the fire and a report will be prepared for the coroner.
