More than 500 people are expected to hold up placards supporting the proscribed organisation at the event in Parliament Square, organised by legal campaign group Defend Our Juries.
The arrest was “for a placard showing support for Palestine Action”, the force said.
It comes days after the first three people to be charged with supporting the group in England and Wales were named.

More than 200 people have been arrested in the wave of Defend Our Juries protests across the UK since the ban was implemented by Home Secretary Yvette Cooper last month.
“Anyone showing support for Palestine Action can expect to be arrested. I would once again urge people to consider the seriousness of that outcome,” he added.
A Home Office spokesperson said the ban on Palestine Action was “not about Palestine” and that it “does not affect the Palestinian rights.”

Palestine Action also had “worrying” plans for future attacks which cannot yet be reported due to ongoing legal proceedings, the spokesperson added.

Two marches, organised by the Palestine Coalition and pro-Israeli group Stop the Hate, respectively, will also be held on consecutive days in the city centre.

Public order conditions have been imposed on the march which means it must not form or begin before noon, protesters must not deviate from or stop to form assemblies along the agreed route and the protest must end by 5.30pm, the Met said.
Officers will also be deployed in Canary Wharf in anticipation of a planned protest and possible counter protest over the use of hotels to accommodate asylum seekers.
“This is going to be a particularly busy few days in London with many simultaneous protests and events that will require a significant policing presence,” Mr Adelekan said.
