The 35-year-old has signed a two-year contract with Burnley to put a definitive end to eight seasons with Manchester City, who he joined from Tottenham in 2017, making 319 appearances and winning 17 trophies.
The move sees Walker reunite with Burnley coach Scott Parker, who he played alongside at Tottenham.
"I'm delighted to be here and I can't wait to come in and add my experience and quality to what looks an exciting squad."
"When I spoke to Scott and heard about his plans for next season, it was an opportunity I jumped at. He's done an amazing job here, guiding the club back to the Premier League," said Walker on the Burnley website.
Walker spent the second half of last season on loan at AC Milan after making 15 appearances for Manchester City, when he seemed to have lost some of the pace that made him such a key defender for Pep Guardiola.
