49-year-old star of Lord of the Rings was taken to a police station after his wife, Georgina, called police during a late night argument, it is believed.
She is said to have told officers that Mr Bean grabbed and assaulted her during a row at their £2m home in Belsize Park, North London.
The actor, currently on a break from filming the television series, Sharpe in India, was held for around six hours.
He was released on Friday, and told that no further action would be taken against him.
A spokesman for Scotland Yard said officers investigated an allegation of domestic assault and that a man was arrested and taken to a London police station where he was bailed and released without further action.
Speaking at the couple's home on Friday, Mrs Bean played down the incident, saying: "Everything is OK... There's no problem between us."
Mr Bean married for the fourth time in February at a private ceremony in central London.
He had been due to marry the 29-year-old actress a month earlier, but the wedding was called off just 24 hours before the ceremony.
At the time, his bride to be was reported to have said that the wedding was cancelled due to "personal reasons".
The actor, who played warrior Boromir in The Lord of the Rings, married his first wife Debra when he was just 21.
He had two daughters, Lorna and Molly, with his second wife, the actress Melanie Hill.
He then wed the actress Abigail Cruttenden, who played his wife in Sharpe. They have a nine-year-old daughter named Evie.
