Pochettino's departure has been on the cards for several weeks but official confirmation arrived on Tuesday.
A club statement read: "Paris Saint-Germain confirm that Mauricio Pochettino has ended his role at the club.
"The club would like to thank Mauricio Pochettino and his staff for their work and wish them the best for the future."
Pochettino guided PSG to a record-equalling 10th French title during his first full season in charge.
However, the Argentine was unable to repair the damage caused by PSG's embarrassing collapse in the Champions League to eventual winners, Real Madrid.
Former Nice manager Christophe Galtier is almost certain to replace Pochettino, who now has major silverware on his CV.
But where will the former Espanyol, Southampton, Tottenham and PSG boss head next?

Real Madrid are the outright favourites at 6/4.
Club president Florentino Perez is a huge admirer of the 50-year-old, who's often been in the frame at the Bernabeu.
However, current boss Carlo Ancelotti led Real to the LaLiga title and Champions League glory in his first season back at the club.
And that could open to door to other clubs.
A sensational return to Tottenham is available at 6/1, ahead of Newcastle and Manchester United at 7s.
Betfair spokesperson Sam Rosbottom said: "Mauricio Pochettino is 6/4 to manage Real Madrid next after he was sacked by Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday.
"Looking at possible destinations in England, the Argentine, who lasted 18 months in Paris, is 6/1 to return to Tottenham and 7/1 to boss Newcastle or Manchester United."
