The Argentine and full-back have not been offered contract extensions as the Magpies prepare to build for next season
Newcastle United have released Jonas Gutierrez and Ryan Taylor following the expiry of their contracts.
The Argentine has been a popular figure at St James' Park since joining Newcastle in July 2008, scoring 12 goals in 205 appearances.
Gutierrez returned to the first team earlier this year following a successful battle against testicular cancer and scored in the final-day 2-0 victory over West Ham - a win that secured the club's Premier League safety.
Taylor's time on Tyneside has been dogged by fitness problems since he joined in 2009 and he has twice had to overcome serious knee injuries, managing 110 appearances.
"It was a great pleasure to see Ryan and Jonas come back into the team in recent weeks and compete at the highest level after the injury and illness battles they have had to overcome," managing director Lee Charnley told the club's official website.
"To come through those difficult periods with such strength and dignity will have given hope and inspiration to many and it is clear that our supporters have a deep connection and affection for both players, as does everyone associated with the club."
