The 44-year-old, who was formerly a technical co-ordinator at White Hart Lane, had never led a top-tier outfit prior to last week following the sacking of Andre Villas-Boas.
In his two games in charge so far, Sherwood oversaw a Capital One Cup quarter-final defeat at home to West Ham United last Wednesday, and a Premier League victory at Southampton on Sunday.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy told Spurs' official website: "We were extremely reluctant to make a change mid-season, but felt we had to do so in the club's best interests.
"We have a great squad and we owe them a head coach who will bring out the best in them and allow them to flourish and enjoy a strong, exciting finish to the season.
"We are in the fortunate position of having within our club a talented coach in Tim Sherwood.
"We believe Tim has both the knowledge and the drive to take the squad forward."
