He helped Bournemouth reach the play-offs after finishing sixth, but they were beaten by Brentford over two legs.
Facing another season in the Championship, the Cherries confirmed Wilshere's departure but wished him all the best.
A statement read: "A class act on and off the pitch.
"We'd like to thank Jack Wilshere for his efforts since returning to the club and wish him all the best moving forward."
Wilshere, 29, joined Bournemouth from West Ham, where he failed to make an impact having struggled with injuries.
The former Arsenal star was a fixture in the Cherries midfield, but now admitted he does not know what the future holds.
Wilshere posted on Instagram: "Thank you to everyone @officialafcb for the last five months.
"My teammates, All the staff and especially the fans. You were amazing last time and continued to support me this time.
