Warnock has agreed a three-and-half-year contract at Loftus Road after Rangers made contact with the administrators at Selhurst Park over the weekend.
"I am delighted to be joining a club with the history that QPR has," Warnock told www.qpr.co.uk.
"As a manager, Loftus Road is always a place I loved because of the fantastic atmosphere there.
"Looking from afar, I believe this is the perfect time for me to come in, with the new structure and chairman in place.
"Together we can give the club the stability that it needs. I am really looking forward to the challenge that's in front of me."
