I can't test it at the moment, but I think this should work

 sudo update-rc.d mongodb disable

If this is not enough try this

 sudo update-rc.d -f mongodb remove

This is borrowed from this answer:

echo manual | sudo tee /etc/init/mongod.override

This worked for me and I'm using Ubuntu 18.04:

sudo systemctl disable mongod

@davelupt's reference is great. However I guess the command should be

echo manual | sudo tee /etc/init/mongod.override

since the file for MongoDB under /etc/init is mongod.conf.

For Ubuntu 18 and above use

$ sudo systemctl stop mongod

For earlier versions

$ sudo service mongod stop

For MacOS:

$ brew services stop mongodb-community@4.2

For Windows, Open CMD as Admin:

sc.exe delete MongoDB
