The star was one of the first actors cast in the BBC One soap starring on it from February 1985 until 1996.
Treacher died late on Saturday night after suffering declining health for some time, his family said.
"Bill was a brilliant actor and a wonderful husband and father, plus a very fine human being. He will be hugely missed.An EastEnders spokesperson said: "It is with great sadness that we learnt of the passing of Bill Treacher. As one of our original cast members, Bill created a much loved character in Arthur Fowler and, alongside Wendy Richard, they created an iconic family in the Fowlers who still remain at the heart of the show.
His co-stars Gillian Taylforth, who plays Kathy Beale, and Letitia Dean, who plays Sharon Watts, were among those paying tribute. Taylforth said she had "so many happy memories of Bill", adding: "He always had a sparkle in his eyes, usually before he mischievously set us off laughing during scenes."
