The 78-year-old will retain ownership of Latics, but will no longer play a role in running the club.
Whelan's grandson, David Sharpe, is to take over from his grandfather as official chairman at the DW Stadium.
A
club statement read: "Wigan Athletic have confirmed that Chairman Dave
Whelan has resigned his position as Chairman of the football club, with
immediate effect, putting an end to a glorious 20 year tenure in charge
of the club.
"Mr Whelan’s grandson David Sharpe will be formally
elected as new Chairman of Wigan Athletic by the Board of Directors at a
date to be confirmed soon, and will be assisted in the running of the
club by Chief Executive Jonathan Jackson
