In humans the answer is absolutely not, although some weird things can happen like conjoined twins, or one twin dying early on and the other growing and absorbing it, however eating does not happen. Food for babies in the womb is supplied directly from the mother to the child via the umbilical cord, therefore the fetus has no requirement to eat as you and I do.
Interesting fact some species of shark do indeed have young that eat their smaller, weaker siblings while still in the womb. Cool, huh?

Can a twin kill another twin while they are in the womb?
YES
Does the death of a twin in utero cause defects to the other twin?
The death of an identical twin in the womb may be caused by developmental or genetic defects in both members of the twin pair, but one twin fares rather better than the other and makes it to birth alive, as a womb twin survivor. The death of a fraternal womb twin in the womb may be caused by developmental anomalies/genetic defects in the womb twin while the womb twin survivor is developing normally and does not share the same genes. After one womb twin dies later in the pregnancy and there is one placenta, or the two placentas have fused, there is a risk of twin embolisation syndrome in the womb twin survivor, which can cause brain damage to the survivor if delivery is delayed. To avoid this risk, the premature birth of the survivor is considered an appropriate solution. In short, there is a slight possibility of damage to the survivor, but the loss of a womb twin is very common, affecting at least 10% of pregnancies, while the birth of a child with defects is relatively rare.

When I was born the midwife told my mum I'd eaten my twin can this really happen?
Babies in the womb eat from their umbellical cord, but I suppose that it would not be impossible for the egg of the forming baby to "eat" the other. Although, it is more likely that the twin died from a birth defect, causing it to die in the process of becoming a full-sized human baby. Don't worry. Even if you did "eat" your twin in the woom, that does NOT make you a murderer.
Can twin disappear toward term?
yes. It has been know to happen. One twin doesn't thrive and ends up dieing in the womb.
