Judge Rizgar Mohammed Amin is angry at complaints from the Iraqi government that he has been too lenient on Saddam Hussein, Reuters news agency reports.
However, Judge Rizgar's resignation is reported to have not yet been accepted.
Tribunal officials are said to be trying to persuade him to remain as the judge overseeing Saddam's trial, for an alleged massacre in Dujail in 1982.
