The 23-year-old, who came through Spurs' academy, made 77 Premier League appearances for the club, including 21 last season.
He will not feature when Leicester and Tottenham open their 2024-25 Premier League campaigns against each other on Monday at 20:00 BST.
"I'm really excited to sign. I've got the feeling that it鈥檚 a good group of people and a good group of players." Skipp said.
"I'm sure that we鈥檝e got a squad capable of challenging in every game. You look around the squad and there's lots of exciting players who have played in the Premier League and I鈥檓 really excited to see what this group can achieve."
Skipp, who will link up with former Spurs team-mate Harry Winks, is Leicester's fifth summer signing after returning to the top flight.
Leicester said the former England Under-21 international would be available to make his debut on Saturday when they travel to Fulham.
