Murray guided Britain to the finals after missing his grandmother's funeral to help his team beat Switzerland in September.
"I've picked up a minor shoulder injury, which means I won't be able to take part in the Davis Cup," Murray said in a statement.
"I'm gutted not to be a part of the squad, but my focus is now on rehab and getting ready for the new season."
Murray, 36, split with long-time coach Ivan Lendl for a third time earlier this month.
