The 28-year-old was the leading scorer in the country last season, tied with Manchester City superstar Sergio Aguero, and has been recruited to boost Town's anaemic front line as Paul Lambert's men bid to bounce back up to the Championship at the first time of asking.
"Ipswich is a Premier League club and I want to help them get back to that level," Norwood told the club website.

"I've looked around the stadium and it's unbelievable. Looking at the size of the crowds last season, the facilities. I just can't wait for pre-season to start now.
"I had three or four Championship clubs make offers but I spoke with Paul Lambert and he told me how he saw me fit into his team.
"It's a massive club and I have seen how the fans get behind the team and I know what that can do for a football club. It was a no-brainer for me really.
