The potentially compromising information about Sir John Sawers included intimate photographs and the location of the couple's London flat, The Mail on Sunday reported.
Lady Shelley Sawers also revealed the whereabouts of their three children and of Sir John's parents on the social networking site, according to the paper.
Details about the couple's friendships with actors Moir Leslie, who plays Janet in The Archers, and Alister Cameron were similarly published.
The information was removed after the newspaper contacted the Foreign Office.
Lady Sawers' half-brother, Hugo Haig-Thomas, a former diplomat, was said to be among those featured in family photographs on Facebook.
