Mr Bannon was a key adviser to Donald Trump during the general election campaign and has been a contentious presence in the White House.
The former leader of conservative news website Breitbart News has pressed Mr Trump to follow through with his campaign promises.
But he has also clashed with some of the US President's closest advisers, including son-in-law Jared Kushner.
The New York Times, citing a person close to Mr Bannon, reported he had submitted his resignation on 7 August and said that it was set to be announced this week, but had been delayed by the violence in Virginia over the weekend.
This week, Mr Bannon gave an interview to the liberal American Prospect in which he appeared to be undermining Mr Trump's position on North Korea.
He told associates that he thought he was talking off the record to an associate.
