The Russian news agency reported that the virtual talks between the US President and his Russian counterpart ended after two hours and five minutes.
The two leaders were trying to de-escalate tensions amid Western fears that Moscow is poised to invade Ukraine.
Mr Putin and Mr Biden greeted each other in a friendly manner at the beginning of what were expected to be tense talks.
Moscow denies that Russia might invade Ukraine, which is a concern for the West.
After his talks with Mr Putin, Biden will hold a call with Boris Johnson and leaders from France, Germany and Italy.
The US President will update the Prime Minister and other European powers on the latest developments after his discussions with the Russian leader.
It will be the second call in 24 hours between Mr Johnson, Mr Biden, Italian prime minister Mario Draghi, French president Emmanuel Macron and German chancellor Angela Merkel as they try to present a united front in response to the threat of a Russian incursion into Ukraine.
In a call on Monday, Mr Johnson told his fellow leaders that the UK would continue to use all the economic and diplomatic tools at its disposal to prevent Russian aggression against Ukraine.
