Neves joins PSG as the French club look to move on following the summer departure of star forward Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid.
"Joao is one of most talented players in Portugal and internationally," said PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
"He was so passionate to join Paris St-Germain and determined to fight for the jersey - which is what we expect of all our players."
Neves has been capped nine times by Portugal and made two appearances for his country at this summer's European Championship in Germany, helping them reach the quarter-finals.
"I'm very proud to be joining Paris St-Germain, a very ambitious club," he added.
"I'm going to give my all to help my teammates, to grow at this fantastic club and to win numerous titles."
