Lallana, who won 34 caps for his country, returned to Southampton last season after making his name in his first spell there.
He joined Liverpool from Saints for £25m in 2014 and went on to win the Premier League and Champions League.
"As I call time on my playing career, I do so with an overwhelming sense of gratitude and pride," Lallana said on his social media accounts.
"Southampton… the place where it all started, and fittingly where it ends. It's the club I ultimately owe everything to."
