The former Valencia coach, who led the Reds to Champions League glory in 2005, has been in contract talks with the club for much of the season.
Benitez told the official Liverpool Web site: "My heart is with Liverpool Football Club, so I'm delighted to sign this new deal.
"I love the club, the fans and the city and with a club like this and supporters like this, I could never say no to staying.
"I always made clear I wanted to be here for a long time and when I complete my new contract it will mean I have spent over a decade in Liverpool," added Benitez.
Benitez had reportedly rejected five offers of a new contract but the news last month that Liverpool chief executive Rick Parry will be leaving at the end of the season was seen as a sign that the manager would stay with the Merseysiders.
Great news, I don't really follow football but I know he's done a lot for the club and i'm glad he's staying. :)
