The 29-year-old has agreed an initial deal to remain at Firhill for the rest of the season, with Lemi having been a free agent following his release by Wasps.
Lemi, who first moved to Britain to play for Bristol, will offset the loss DTH van der Merwe - with the Canadian having been ruled out with a serious shoulder injury.
"I'm delighted to have signed for Glasgow Warriors and to have the chance to help the team enjoy a successful season," said Lemi.
"One look at the squad list tells you that this is a club with a lot of talented players, and I'm confident that I can bring the benefit of my own experience to bear and play a part in the side continuing to win.
"Having spoken to Sean Lineen, I've already got a got insight into the passion and commitment that I'll find at the club. They've been doing well of late, and I can't wait to do my bit to make sure that run continues."
