The MP's decision comes as ministers began campaigning over the UK's EU membership, after PM David Cameron called a referendum for 23 June.
Mr Johnson is expected to confirm his decision in a statement later and set out his reasons in a Telegraph column.
A statement from Mr Johnson, the MP for Uxbridge and Ruislip South, is expected at about 17:00 GMT, following days of speculation about which side he would back.
He's making a statement live on television right now.
The Secretary of State for Justice, Dominc Raab MP, has also backed the Leave campaign today.
The Deputy Mayor of London has backed Leave and Zac Goldsmith MP (the candidate to replace Boris as Mayor) has also backed Leave.
Well done Boris.
