The Washington Post cited US officials who said General Timothy Haugh was fired after little over a year in the job.
Haugh was also serving as head of the US Cyber Command, the Pentagon's cyber warfare body which conducts offensive and defensive cyber operations.
The NSA is the US government's largest and most secretive signals intelligence agency.
Haugh, who was appointed in February 2024, previously held a string of high-profile government cybersecurity roles, including commander of the elite Cyber National Mission Force.
“I have known General Haugh to be an honest and forthright leader who followed the law and put national security force,“ he said in a statement posted on X.
US President Donald Trump has led a major shake-up of the armed forces' leadership since taking office in January.
His administration is presiding over sweeping layoffs of federal workers and moves to dismantle government institutions just months into his second term.
US Cyber Command's Deputy Commander William J. Hartman and NSA executive director Sheila Thomas have been named acting NSA chief and deputy, The Post reported.
