He announced his decision to quit in a statement issued by the Football Association on Tuesday morning, following the team's defeat to Spain in the Euro 2024 final on Sunday night.
"As a proud Englishman, it has been the honour of my life to play for England and to manage England. It has meant everything to me and I have given it my all," he said in a statement.
"But it's time for change and for a new chapter. Sunday's final in Berlin against Spain was my final game as England manager."
Southgate took charge in 2016, following the team's ignominious exit to Iceland in that summer's Euros and the short-lived reign of Sam Allardyce.
FA chief executive Mark Bullingham paid tribute to Southgate's achievements in leading England to successive European Championship finals, as well as to the semifinals of the 2018 World Cup in his first tournament at the helm.
