The three-time Grand Slam champion, who is the only man to have won two Olympic golds in the sport, made the announcement in a post on X.
The 37-year-old memorably ended a long wait for British tennis when he won Wimbledon in 2013, having been beaten in the final the year before in emotional scenes.
He repeated the success in 2016 having won his first grand slam at the US Open in 2012.
After losing in the Wimbledon doubles a few weeks ago, he said he was ready to call it a day.
