Libya wants to try Mr Senussi for crimes allegedly committed during his time as Col Gaddafi's right-hand man.
Earlier this month, Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz said Mr Senussi must first face charges of illegal entry into Mauritania.
Mr Senussi fled Libya after last year's uprising that toppled Muammar Gaddafi.
He is also wanted by France and the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The report of his extradition was carried by state TV and the state news agency in Mauritania.
"Mauritanian authorities hand over ex-Libyan spy chief Abdullah al-Senussi to Libya," read the TV newsflash in Arabic.
An official source confirmed the extradition, AFP news agency reported.
According to the reports, Mr Senussi was delivered to a Libyan official delegation headed by the minister of justice. His current whereabouts are unknown.
