The 63-year-old Scot takes over from Danny Lennon, who saw his four-year spell at St Mirren Park come to an end on Monday afternoon.
Craig's last role in management was a brief stay at Belgian side Charleroi between November 2009 and April 2010.
Gary Teale and Jim Goodwin have both been promoted to assist Craig as player-coaches.
