The 29-year-old Mexico international has scored 46 times in 106 appearances for the Molineux outfit, including two goals this term.
He joined on loan from Benfica in June 2018, with Wolves then exercising the option to sign him on a permanent deal the following summer, and his form since arriving in the Premier League saw him linked with a move to Manchester United - among others - in recent months.
Jimenez said on Wolves' official website: "I am delighted to be here and to be at this great club. Since I was a little boy, I just wanted to play, I wanted to enjoy it, live it, and that's why I am here for.
"They give me all the confidence and the opportunity to be an important guy at the front, and that's what I was looking for when I arrived into Europe, and I'm very happy to continue at this club.
"It didn't take much persuading! It was easy for me to say yes because since the beginning, this is what I was looking for.
"The last two seasons we have given very good performances, so I knew this club has something special and I'm part of a big family here.
"I think Wolves are getting the best out of me, and I'm giving Wolves my best football, but they are giving the best to me too."
