The Australia will join Yuki Tsunoda at Scuderia AlphaTauri from the Hungarian Grand Prix.
"I’m stoked to be back on track with the Red Bull family!" said Ricciardo, who spent the day completing a Pirelli tyre test with Red Bull at Silverstone.
"I’m very pleased to welcome Daniel back into the team," said team principal Franz Tost.
"There’s no doubt about his driving skill, and he already knows many of us, so his integration will be easy and straight-forward."
"The team will also profit a lot from his experience, as he is an eight-time Formula 1 Grand Prix winner. I would like to thank Nyck for his valuable contribution during his time with Scuderia AlphaTauri, and I wish him all the best for the future."
