A further 25 people were wounded in the blasts, which went off in quick succession. The second tore through a crowd of people who had rushed to help those hurt in the first.
It was not immediately clear who carried out the attack.
More than two years of civil war in neighbouring Syria have brought sectarian tensions in Iraq and the wider region to the boil.
About 800 Iraqis were killed in August, according to the United Nations, with more than a third of the deadly attacks happening in Baghdad.
