The new deal will keep the 52-year-old in his post until at least 2019. The Portuguese, who had previously been in charge from 2004-2007, rejoined in 2013 on a four-year deal, leading the Blues to the Premier League title and the Capital One Cup last season.
"I said when I returned here that I have a special feeling for this club and nothing changed," he said.
"I think this is a normal thing for me to sign a new contract.
It is important we have this continuity and I hope we can enjoy more success in the future - for the fans, the players and the club.
"It is the club closest to my heart and I am very happy to know I will be staying here for a long time."
Mourinho has the best win rate (69%) of any manager to have taken charge of 15 or more Premier League games and will lead his side out in their season opener against Swansea on Saturday at 17:30 BST. Last season, Chelsea were the only
club in all four divisions to remain unbeaten at home, winning the title with three matches to spare.
