The centre-back has put pen-to-paper on a two-year deal, which will run until the summer of 2027.
Hanley departed Birmingham City at the conclusion of the 2024/25 campaign after helping the Club win the League One title and return to the second-tier of English football.
That promotion was the fourth of Hanley’s career, playing significant roles for Norwich City and Newcastle United as they returned to the English Premier League.
During his career, the 33-year-old has made 432 senior career appearances with the majority of those coming in the English Premier League and Championship.
Hanley has also made important contributions for Scotland on the international stage, earning 62 caps to date and is a regular under Steve Clarke.
On the signing of the defender, Hibernian FC Head Coach David Gray commented: “It’s great to be able to bring Grant to the Club. He’s performed at a top-level throughout his career and has a real desire to compete at the highest level in his home nation.
“He’s a strong, robust defender that can play in any role across our back three. He’s a real leader both on and off the pitch and a player of his experience will add a lot to the team. I look forward to working with him.”
Hibernian FC Sporting Director Malky Mackay added: “We’ve been keen to add another defender to the First Team squad, and we did everything in our power to make sure that we could bring in someone of Grant Hanley’s calibre. He had a number of different options, but we’re delighted he saw Hibs as the right club for him.
“He’s an excellent character to add to the group, and his experience will really benefit our young players. I look forward to seeing him in Hibs green and white.”
