ABC Sport will be live blogging every day of the Paris Olympics from July 27
The 37-year-old former world number one made the announcement on X, saying he was “extremely proud” to represent Great Britain for one last time.
“Arrived in Paris for my last ever tennis tournament,” he wrote.
“Competing for [Team GB] have been by far the most memorable weeks of my career and I’m extremely proud to get to do it one final time!”
Murray is a three-time grand slam champion, winning Wimbledon twice (2013 and 2016) as well as the 2012 US Open.
He also claimed the men’s singles gold medal at the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games for Great Britain.
From 2008 until 2017, Murray was a permanent feature in the second week of grand slams.
He made 11 grand slam finals in his career, triumphing in three of them.
He made the final of the Australian Open five times, but was beaten by Roger Federer in 2010 and then Novak Djokovic in 2011, 2013, 2015 and 2016.
Ten of his 11 grand slam finals were against either Federer or Djokovic. He defeated Canadian Milos Raonic in straight-sets to claim the Wimbledon final in 2016.
He won gold medals at consecutive Olympics in the men’s singles, defeating Roger Federer in 2012 on Centre Court at Wimbledon, and Argentine Juan Martín del Potro in Rio.
