Cleverley was available after he was sacked from his job at Watford due to missing out on the Championship playoffs.
He has signed a three-year contract with the Pilgrims and will be aiming to get the club back into the second flight.
Chairman Simon Hallett has hailed Cleverley's arrival in the dugout following the controversial exit of Miron Muslic.
He said: "Ever since Miron's departure, and knowing Tom was available, we identified him straight away as the perfect person to be our next Head Coach and targeted him immediately.
"When we spoke to him he was completely aligned with the vision and ambitions of the club and it was clear throughout that Tom was the right fit for us.
"He is fully invested in our long-term plans and will play a key role in helping us achieve them.
"He is young, passionate and did a great job at Watford.
"We are thrilled to bring him to Argyle and look forward to seeing the impact he has on the talented squad at his disposal."
The club was relegated from the Championship last season under Muslic.
The Austrian had taken over from Wayne Rooney midway through the season.
Despite an upturn in form, the club fell short of survival by just three points as they finished 23rd.
The club had hoped that Muslic would remain in his position for the next season but he left for 2. Bundesliga outfit Schalke 04.
His exit was confirmed by Argyle on social media with a blunt 13-word statement.
It read: "Miron Muslic has left Argyle to join 2. Bundesliga side FC Schalke 04."
