Set in the White House, the show will end after seven series with the inauguration of a new president, according to makers NBC.
Kevin Reilly, NBC's entertainment president, said the decision to drop the show was made before John Spencer, the actor who played former presidential chief of staff Leo McGarry, died of a heart attack in December.
'It's no secret that the ratings have been tough for the last couple of seasons,' said Mr Reilly.
'There's a point where you look at the ratings and you just say, 'it's time'.'"
