Police are investigating the actions of MP Margaret Ferrier, who travelled from Glasgow to London with Covid-19 symptoms then returned home after testing positive.
The Met said it was looking at possible offences related to the Health Protection Regulations.
Ms Ferrier has been widely condemned for risking the health of people in parliament and on public transport.
She has been suspended by the SNP and faces calls to quit as an MP.
The Met said in a statement that an MP had contacted Police Scotland on Thursday to say she may have breached legislation and guidance relating to coronavirus.
The statement added: “This related to her actions earlier this week, including a train journey on Tuesday, 29 September, between London and Glasgow, following a positive Covid-19 test.
“Following consultation with Police Scotland, officers from the Metropolitan Police, working with British Transport Police, are conducting an investigation into potential offences.
“The Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards has been informed.”
