The 29-year-old Brazilian has arrived at Villa Park on a four-year deal after completing a medical and agreeing personal terms.
Villa boss Steven Gerrard has moved quickly to strengthen his squad ahead of next season, having already brought in Philippe Coutinho and Boubacar Kamara.
Carlos told Villa's official website: 'I am really happy because the Premier League is one of the best competitions.
'I always want to do the best for the club and the shirt I'm wearing.
