Watford head coach with two games remaining in the season.
Watford are in the race to avoid relegation from the Premier League.
It's been gathered that Pearson's assistant Craig Shakespeare has also been dismissed.
According to Sky Sports, the U23s coach Hayden Mullins and goalkeeping coach Graham Stack placed in temporary charge of first-team affairs.
Recall that the former Leicester and Derby boss replaced Quique Sanchez Flores in December.
Nigel recorded a run of four wins in his first seven matches - including Liverpool's first defeat of the season.
Meanwhile, Hornets have only recorded two wins since the restart with Friday night's 3-1 defeat to fellow relegation rivals West Ham meaning they sit just one place and three points above the drop zone
"Watford FC confirms that Nigel Pearson has left the club with immediate effect," the club said in a statement released on Sunday evening.
"Hayden Mullins, with Graham Stack as his assistant, will take up the position of Interim Head Coach for the Hornets' final two Premier League fixtures of the 2019/20 season
"There will be no further club comment."
Pearson is the third managerial sacking by Watford this season, following Javi Gracia and Quique Sanchez Flores in being shown the door.
