His contract expires in June and the 35-year-old has decided to end speculation surrounding his future by calling time on his illustrious career.
Carragher said in a statement: "This will be my last season at Liverpool and my last as a professional footballer.
"I'm making this announcement now because I don't want the manager or the club to be answering questions on my future when I've already decided what I am going to do."
The defender joined the Reds in January 1997, when he was nine years old, and has amassed over 700 appearances for the first team.
Carragher was also part of the Liverpool side that produced one of the greatest ever come-backs in Champions League final history in 2005, firing back from 3-0 down at half-time against AC Milan to draw 3-3, forcing extra-time and then penalties, which the Reds won 3-2 to earn their fifth European Cup crown.
