The Blackburn Rovers defender has signed on loan until the end of the season and told the Official Club Website: "I've had offers to go elsewhere but once I found out that Ipswich wanted me my mind was made up straightaway.
"I want and need to play first-team football but it's important that the club I join plays in a style that suits my game.
"I know Ipswich like to pass the ball around and play good football, more than some Championship teams do who play the long ball so that was a big reason to come here.
"I'm looking forward to getting started now and hopefully I can help Ipswich enjoy a good run while I'm here as well."
