The woman in her 20s passed away after the collision late last night in Forest Road.
It happened at around 11.45pm, while the officers were responding to an emergency call.
The officers stopped and provided first aid, and paramedics and the London Air Ambulance were also called to treat the woman but she sadly died at the scene.
A Met Police spokesperson said: “Enquiries are underway to trace her next of kin, who are believed to be outside the UK, but a close friend has been informed.
“The police car had been responding to an emergency call to a man threatening members of the public at a location in Walthamstow.”
The Directorate of Professional Standards has been informed, as has the Independent Office for Police Conduct.
