The 27-year-old will spend the remainder of the season at White Hart Lane.
"We are delighted to announce the signing of Emmanuel Adebayor on a season-long loan from Manchester City," a statement read on Spurs' official website.
Adebayor moved from Arsenal to City in 2009 for £25m, but spent the second half of last season on loan at Real Madrid.
