The experienced manager comes in as a replacement for Luis Zubeldia who was sacked following the defeat to Villarreal last weekend.
The result left Alaves second from bottom in La Liga, with five losses from their opening five games of the 2017/18 Primera Division season.
The 61-year-old Italian De Biasi most recently coached Albania, for six years, and had previously been in charge of SPAL, Modena, Brescia, Levante, Torino and Udinese.
A statement from the club read: "Alaves have finalised the appointment of Gianni De Biasi.
"The coach arrives at the club after a long career in Serie A, LaLiga and international level, with the Albania national team.
"In that latter role, he achieved the great success of qualifying for a European Championships - France 2016 - for the first time in the country's history. At club level, the new coach has a lot of experience of successfully facing difficult situations.
"The coach has committed himself to the club until the end of the season, with an option for another year."
Up next for Alaves is a daunting clash at home against Real Madrid on Saturday.
