The boat carrying around 250 people is reported to have capsized 50km (30 miles) north of the Libyan coast in stormy seas and high winds.
Libyan officials say 21 people are confirmed dead and 23 rescued.
A second boat with around 350 migrants was rescued, an official from the IOM told the Associated Press news agency.
