The 29-year-old will feature for Lancashire Thunder in the Women's T20 Blast as well as Lancashire's matches in the One-Day Cup.
A 50-over World Cup winner in 2022, King has also won the Ashes on three occasions as well as gold at the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
"I am really honoured to be able to represent a great county in Lancashire," she said.
"When I look at the past great names that have represented the county before me, it truly is a privilege to represent this team."
King has also previously played in The Hundred for Trent Rockets, becoming the first woman to take a hat-trick, having dismissed Cordelia Griffith, Sophie Ecclestone and Kate Cross while playing Manchester Originals.
"Alana will bring with her an incredible amount of skill and experience, from both the international stage and in franchise cricket around the world, and we cannot wait to see her in action for the Red Rose," head coach Chris Read said.
"Spin plays an important role at Emirates Old Trafford, and I have no doubts that Alana will positively impact matches for us in the Vitality Blast, while it will also be great to have her around for a couple of 50-over fixtures later in the season too."
