The former England boss, 66, has previously taken charge of seven clubs in the Premier League and is yet to be relegated from the top flight.
Allardyce joins the Baggies along with long-time assistant Sammy Lee with the club 19th in the table with seven points from 13 matches.
The Dudley-born manager started his coaching career with West Brom under Brian Talbot in 1989 and his first game as boss will be when the Baggies host Aston Villa in a West Midlands derby on Sunday.
