The 24-year-old made his Holland debut against Afghanistan in March 2012 and has played four one-day internationals and 19 Twenty20 matches for the Dutch.
One of those was at the 2014 ICC World Twenty20 in Bangladesh, where the fast-medium pacer took the wicket of Eoin Morgan in Holland's 45-run victory over England.
Sydney-born Van der Gugten made his first-class bow for New South Wales in 2011 and since 2012 has played for Tasmania and the Hobart Hurricanes in Australia.
"I am thrilled to be joining Glamorgan," Van der Gugten told the official club website.
"I have always been keen to play county cricket and I am pleased to have joined such an ambitious and passionate county."
Glamorgan chief executive Hugh Morris said: "Timm is a talented quick bowler who has stood out for Netherlands and has the potential to forge a successful county career."
Van der Gugten is the second bowler to arrive at Glamorgan this week following the arrival of Middlesex seamer Harry Podmore on loan.
Former MCC Young Cricketer Podmore, 21, is available for the club's first six Division Two championship matches.
