The Galaxy confirmed Gerrard as a designated-player signing on an 18-month deal in Wednesday's editions of the Los Angeles Times.
Gerrard told the paper that "one of the reasons I chose LA Galaxy was because of the success they've had recently."
The Galaxy won the MLS Cup for the third time in four years in December.
Galaxy President Chris Klein told the LA Times that "Gerrard is the perfect fit with what he brings to us on the field and the character that he has off it."
