The 22-year-old Frenchman has signed a five-year contract, Coventry stated.
Reports say the deal is worth about £20m.
Tchaouna joined Burnley from Lazio last summer and scored three goals in 32 appearances as the Clarets were unable to preserve their top-flight status.
“I’m so excited to start this new season in the Premier League, I’m feeling good and ready for the challenge,” the former France youth international stated.
“I was at Burnley last season in the Premier League, which was incredible.
“I’m going to bring my energy, determination and leadership to the team. I’ve played in Ligue 1, Serie A and now I’m playing in the Premier League, the best league in the world, so I have a lot of experience for my young age. I can’t wait for the new season.”
After coming through the youth ranks at Rennes, he moved to Salernitana in Italy before earning a switch to Lazio.
Championship title winners Coventry face champions Arsenal in their opening league game on 21 August.
