Postecoglou and Spurs parted company on June 6 despite the club's 1-0 triumph over Manchester United in the final of the UEFA Europa League.
Tottenham said: "In Thomas we are appointing one of the most progressive and innovative head coaches within the game. He has a proven track record in player and squad development, and we look forward to him leading the team as we prepare for the season ahead."
The news means Frank will leave Brentford after almost seven years in charge. He has signed a contract that runs until 2028.

During that time, he guided The Bees out of the Championship and helped cement their place in the Premier League.
Frank will be joined at Tottenham from Brentford by Justin Cochrane (first team assistant coach), Chris Haslam (head of performance and first team assistant coach) and Joe Newton (first team coach analyst).
Meanwhile, Andreas Georgson (first team assistant coach) has arrived from Manchester United.
