The band said they had decided to "call it a day" in a posting on the group's official website.
"To our Fans and Friends: As R.E.M., and as lifelong friends and co-conspirators, we have decided to call it a day as a band," the statement said.
"We walk away with a great sense of gratitude, of finality, and of astonishment at all we have accomplished.
"To anyone who ever felt touched by our music, our deepest thanks for listening."
