Anderson made his debut in 2003 and has taken 700 wickets in 187 Tests – the most by any pace bowler in Test history.
He is third on the all-time list of wicket-takers in Tests behind spinners Muttiah Muralitharan of Sri Lanka and Australia’s Shane Warne.
It is not clear whether he will continue to play for his county, Lancashire.
“It has been an incredible 20 years representing my country, playing the game I’ve loved since I was a kid,” Anderson said.
“I’m excited for the new challenges that lie ahead, as well as filling my days with even more golf.
“Thank you to everyone who has supported me over the years, it’s always meant a lot, even if my face often doesn’t show it.”
