John Kiriakou entered the plea in US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.
Kiriakou was to go on trial next month on the disclosure allegation and other charges. He said he was not guilty when the charges were disclosed in January.
The guilty plea closes one of several prosecutions the Obama administration has brought against alleged leakers of classified information.
