Duff was only appointed by Swansea in June as he left League One outfit Barnsley to take charge. However, after 21 matches, they are moving on from him. Swansea are one of only three teams out of 10 this season to have beaten Argyle at Home Park in the Championship, winning 3-1 on October 7.
Since then they have had only had one victory out of eight games and have dropped to 18th position, five points above the relegation zone, and a 1-1 draw at home to Huddersfield Town on Saturday proved to be Duff's 21st and last match in charge.
Swansea chairman Andy Coleman said: "This was a very difficult decision and one that was given considerable thought and attention.
I acknowledge that there has been a significant amount of change at the club, both on and off the pitch, during Michael's tenure. I consistently asked for patience as we gave him time to implement his plans and bring the squad together.
"Unfortunately, we have seen neither the results that we expect nor the progress from the squad that we need. I believe it is now in the best interests of Swansea City to make a change of head coach.
