The 30-year-old has penned a three-year contract at St Andrews in a deal that could be worth over £1million - with a host of add-on fees reportedly involved.
Bent's transfer comes just 36 hours after it emerged the London-born marksman had made an 11th-hour U-turn regarding an agreed switch to Cardiff and failed to turn up for his medical.
After spending time at Everton, Ipswich, Blackburn and Sheffield United, Bent enjoyed a loan spell at Premier League side Wigan last season where he scored seven goals in 31 appearances - including a brace against Blues at St Andrews.
He becomes the fifth senior striker at the club alongside James McFadden, Kevin Phillips, Garry O'Connor and Cameron Jerome.

"He's a good signing, especially for 1M I mean he had scored 7 goals in the prem at christmas before we dropped him for King. Read a charlton post to say that he is lazy? I was gutted when we got him on loan but he ran his heart out for Wigan and looked Sh*t hot in most games until we got King, gutted we let him go. He'll score 20 goals next season willing to put money on that as well. Good luck fella"
