Ayew has signed a two-year contract in a deal worth an initial £5m.
The 32-year-old Ghana forward spent six seasons in total at Selhurst Park, making 212 appearances, scoring 23 goals and providing 22 assists.
Ayew is Leicester City's seventh summer signing.
He has also played in the Premier League for Swansea City and Aston Villa.
Commenting on Ayew's departure from Palace, chairman Steve Parish said: "Jordan has been outstanding and selfless in his service for Crystal Palace, both on and off the pitch, not just with his goals and assists, but his all-round play, dedication and willingness to do everything we have asked of him.
"He has provided a fantastic example to his teammates, young and old. We therefore wish him all the very best with the next chapter of his career - he will always be welcome back at Selhurst Park."
Speaking to Leicester's official website, Ayew said: "I’m very happy to be here and I’m proud. I want to thank the Club as they fought hard to bring me here – it happened quickly and I’m so happy to be here."
“As a player, when you hear that the manager wants you, it just makes you want to come and work under him and to try to improve.
"Even though I’m 32, as a player you always want to learn and improve. I’m here to work hard and help the team achieve their targets.”
Ayew could make his debut for the Foxes away at Fulham on Saturday.
