An interior ministry official told Reuters news agency the fighting was between militiamen from the city of Misrata, and a group from Zintan.
The two militia groups fought together to overthrow Muammar Gaddafi last year.
Several militias from outside the capital have set up bases in Tripoli and regularly clash as they fight for control of parts of the city.
