Gillingham captain Doug Loft, Brennan Dickenson, Jermaine McGlashan and Glenn Morris will be released this summer following the end of their contracts, the club have announced.
All four players joined the Gills in the summer of 2014. Loft has served as club captain ever since, and scored six goals in his 70 appearances for the club.
Like Loft, former Brighton trainee Dickenson played in Sunday's season finale against Millwall, his 38th league start for the club, as Gillingham finished ninth in League One.
McGlashan joined on a free transfer from Cheltenham Town and scored seven goals in his first season for the club, but started just six league games in the 2015-16 campaign.
Former Southend and Aldershot goalkeeper Morris kept three clean sheets in the 11 appearances he made for the Gills, all of which came last season.
Gillingham have offered new contracts to eight players for the 2016-17 season.
John Egan, Mitchell Dickenson, Elliott List, Aaron Morris, Stuart Nelson, Emmanuel Osadebe and Josh Wright have been offered new deals as their existing contracts expire imminently, while midfielder Darren Oldaker has been offered professional terms at the club.
