Ms Gray herself has yet to comment.
A Cabinet Office spokesperson said: " We can confirm that Sue Gray has resigned from The Post of Second Permanent Secretary in The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC). This Was accepted by The Department Permanent Secretary and Cabinet Secretary with immediate effect.
" We will not be commenting further on individual personnel matters. We Are reviewing the circumstances under which she resigned. "
Downing Street said it would not comment further on an " individual personal matter".
Ms Gray's report on the Partygate scandal Last Year contributed to Boris Johnson 's downfall, prompting numerous Conservative MPs to call on the then-Prime Minister to resign.
She led the Civil Service investigation into allegations of coronavirus rule-breaking at No 10 in December 2021, going from an influential but little-known arbiter of conduct in government to a household name seen as holding Mr Johnson's fate in her hands.
Hearings in an inquiry by The Commons Privileges Committee into opposition claims Mr Johnson misled MPs about what he knew about the lockdown gatherings in government buildings.
'Left-wing stitch-up'The Inquiry was Set Up by MPs last April.
Labour has had a vacancy for Sir Keir's chief of staff for some time. A party spokesman said that the recruitment process was " ongoing" but " nobody has been offered The Job ".

Former Business Secretary and Brexit Opportunities Minister: " So much for an impartial Civil Service , the Gray report now looks like a left wing stitch up against a Tory Prime Minister . "
Also on Twitter, former Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries .
" Whilst writing report, she used QC who tweeted out pro Labour anti gov [government] tweets whilst Alistair Campbell heaped praise upon her. Her comms [communications] assistant briefed against Johnson from day 1.
" The Gray report was a stitch up of PM and CSs [civil servants], " She Said .
Asked about the speculation surrounding Ms Gray's future, the Prime Minister 's spokesman said Acoba would review any new job against the government's business appointment rules, and provide a provisional recommendation.
" And Then obviously the recommendations are then made to the relevant department or minister depending on who they are, " He Said .
