Mr Price was put on immediate leave of absence last week when reports emerged that he allegedly sexually harassed an Amazon TV producer.
The Man in the High Castle producer Isa Hackett has said Mr Price made approaches to her while she was promoting the show in 2015.
The resignation comes in the wake of the ongoing scandal surrounding the Hollywood film producer Harvey Weinstein who is facing sexual assault allegations from dozens of women, including a number of A-list actresses.
Albert Cheng, the studio's chief operating officer, remains interim head of the division, the spokeswoman said. Price had gone on a leave of absence last week.
