Jim Allenby will leave Somerset at the end of the season, the County Championship Division One club announced on Tuesday.
The 34-year-old Australian all-rounder has been with the county since the start of the 2015 season and was named captain of the club's one-day side in 2016.
Somerset chief executive Lee Cooper thanked Allenby for his service in a statement on the club's website.
"During his time with the Club Jim has proved himself to be a valuable cricketer and he has captained the team admirably," Cooper said.
"On behalf of everyone associated with the Club I would like to thank Jim for his efforts and wish him well for the future."
Somerset also announced that they would not be renewing the contract of Scotland international Michael Leask, while Ryan Davies has been released due to personal reasons.
