O'Brien will continue to play T20Is and Tests for Ireland. He is focusing on the next two T20 World Cups in 2021 and 2022.
The 37-year-old played his last ODI against Netherlands on June 7, which Ireland lost and slumped to 1-2 defeat in the Cricket World Cup Super League.
"After 15 years playing for Ireland, I feel now is the right time to step away and retire from ODI cricket. It has been an honour and a privilege to represent my country 153 times and the memories I take from them will last a lifetime," O'Brien said in a statement.
"This has not been an easy decision, but after ongoing consideration I don’t feel I can contribute to the ODI team as much as I have in the past. The hunger and love for the ODI format is no longer the same as it was and it wouldn’t be fair to Andrew [Balbirnie, the captain], Graham [Ford, the coach], the team and our supporters to continue to play while no longer feeling at 100%.
"I’ve had some unbelievable moments with the team since 2006 - the three World Cups, the personal successes and spending time travelling and playing all over the world, but I will now shift my focus and remain fully committed to T20 cricket - with two world cups in the next 18 months - and hoping to add to my three caps in Test cricket."
O'Brien is the most capped (153) player for Ireland in ODIs. With 3619 runs, O'Brien is the third-highest run-getter for Ireland in this format and leads their all-time bowling chart with 114 wickets.
