Let's assume Magento 1.9.x because it seems to be the most popular of questions right now although 2.x.x is catching up.
If you would like to disable the module you can:
1) Go to your Admin Panel configuration by logging into your admin then going to: system -> config.
2) From here, choose your website / store view in top left (most of you will use default config I believe).
3) Go down to the "Advanced" area on the left and click "advanced".
4) Click on "Disable Modules Output"
5) Find the "Mage_Wishlist" and select "Disable".
Replace name="my-account-link" with name="wish-list-link".
administration screenshots Configurations > Customers > Wish List> General options> Enabled: No
If you're developing an Enterprise Edition site, wish-list-link is not the droid you're looking for. That block is removed and replaced with multiple-wish-list-link, thus needs to be removed as follows, in app/design/frontend/<Vendor>/<Theme>/Magento_MultipleWishlist/layout/default.xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
<body>
<referenceBlock name="multiple-wish-list-link" remove="true"/>
</body>
</page>
Note this will leave wishlish enabled, so users will still be able to add products to, and view, the wishlist. If you wish to disable the wishlist completely, you should follow the instructions in some of the other answers for disabling the module in the admin panel.
