O'Hare underwent a medical at the north Wales club on transfer deadline day and has joined for a fee believed to be in the region of £6.5m.
The 28-year-old has signed a three-year contract with Wrexham - who hold an option to extend the deal by a further 12 months.
"The club's so big and well known and I just really wanted to come here. I'm so excited to get started," O'Hare said.
"I want to help the club go in the right direction and hopefully get what everyone wants - promotion to the Premier League."

Blades boss Chris Wilder confirmed on Monday that the north Wales club had made a move for the attacking midfielder.
Wilder had accused Wrexham of adopting a "blanket bombing" approach to the final stages of the summer window.
"This is not a criticism, but Wrexham are in for half the division," Wilder said in his news conference before his side's home Championship fixture with Bolton Wanderers on Tuesday (19:45 BST).
O'Hare's arrival is a welcome boost to Phil Parkinson whose side take on Millwall at The Den on Wednesday night (19:45 BST).
Discussing the capture of O'Hare, Parkinson said: "We're delighted to welcome Callum to the club.
"He's a player with a lot of Championship experience, and he's going to be a great addition for us for the coming seasons."
O'Hare is Wrexham's seventh signing of the summer and their second of deadline day following the arrival of centre-back Joe Worrall from Burnley.
The Red Dragons have also signed goalkeeper Anthony Patterson, wing-backs Danny Imray, Issa Kabore and Jacques Ekomie and central midfielder Ben Whiteman.
Wrexham are also in the process of trimming their squad having already seen 10-cap England international Conor Coady leave by mutual consent.
Coady had not featured in any of Wrexham's four matchday squads this season.
Elliot Lee, Harry Ashfield and Aaron James are among those who could leave Wrexham either on loan or permanently on deadline day.
Defender Dan Scarr has completed a permanent switch to League Two side Salford City.
