The 28-year-old singer was arrested in the Tower Hamlets area of east London at about 2am today.
He is being held at an East London police station after the car he was travelling in was stopped by police.
Doherty took to the stage at the V Festival in Weston Park last night with his band Babyshambles and one reviewer said he finished the set by demolishing the drum kit after starting four hours late, at 10pm, because of traffic.
Less than two weeks ago, a judge told Doherty he must kick his drug habit or go to jail.
