The former QPR star said: "I decided to sign up for the show because it's a challenge first and foremost.
"I'm in a new phase of my life since retiring from football and the one of the things I've missed about playing is the structure it gives you.
"Dancing On Ice will give me that focus but I'm also doing it for my daughter because she loves dance and performing arts.
"My son always had my football to shout about so this will give my daughter and me something to share."
The star, who is known for his work tackling issues of racism in football, is the seventh celebrity to be announced by ITV.
Ferdinand joins EastEnders legend Charlie Brooks, Traitors star Mollie Pearce, Corrie favourite Sam Aston, Sir Steve Redgrave, Towie alum Ferne McCann in the line-up.
