"Scuderia Ferrari has decided to rest the Finn so that he can be fully fit for the German Grand Prix on 20th July at Hockenheim," the team said.
Frenchman Jules Bianchi, a Ferrari academy driver who races for Marussia, will take Raikkonen's place on the schedule on Wednesday with Spanish test driver Pedro de la Rosa in the car on Tuesday.
The test will be De la Rosa's first in the F14 T car after many kilometres in the team simulator.
"During his day on track, a comparative test will take place at the same time back in Maranello and in a reverse of the usual situation, it will be Pedro de la Rosa on track and Fernando Alonso in the simulator," said Ferrari.
Bianchi, who scored his and Marussia's first F1 points in Monaco this season, last tested for Ferrari in December 2013.
