The World Cup winner will wear the number eight shirt for the Major League Soccer franchise, who resume their inaugural season on August 22.
Co-owner Beckham, who played alongside Matudi at Paris St Germain, said: "I couldn't be happier to welcome my friend Blaise to Inter Miami. He is an exciting and gifted player and a great person."
It could just be one of the big names to be attracted to Inter Miami, with the lure of Beckham and the city itself sure to be popular for players.
