Roberts, who has won 30 caps for Wales, strengthens Sean Dyche's defensive options and will wear the number 14 shirt at Turf Moor.
Speaking to the club's official website, Burnley chairman Alan Pace said: "On behalf of everyone at Burnley Football Club, we are delighted to welcome Connor to Turf Moor.

"We look forward to seeing him in action soon."
After coming through the youth system at Swansea, Roberts went on to make 152 appearances in all competitions for the club.
He makes the step up to the top-flight having been an ever-present in the Swansea side that made the play-off final under Steve Cooper last season.
