Kitshoff has agreed a three-year deal and he will join the United Rugby Championship province after next year’s World Cup in France.
The 30-year-old helped South Africa win the World Cup three years ago when they defeated England in the final.
Ulster head coach Dan McFarland said: “As one of the best players in his position in the game right now, he will bring a world-class edge to our front-row which will benefit our squad now, and in the development of our younger players as they come through the Ulster system.
“His set-piece excellence and the physical edge to his play will, together with his winning mindset, be a real asset to us when he joins us next season.”
