The Lebanese authorities seized Mr Gaddafi, now 49, in 2015, accusing him of concealing information about the fate of a Lebanese Shia cleric who disappeared in Libya in 1978, when he was just two.
Human rights groups had denounced the accusations.
His lawyer told the AFP news agency his $900,000 (£682,938) bail had been paid.
Laurent Bayon said: "It's the end of a nightmare for him that lasted 10 years."
