The 54-year-old, who has also coached Napoli and Sampdoria, signed a three-year deal to take over as manager from July 1, Watford said on their official Twitter feed.
"Walter has been the target of a number of approaches for his services, so we're delighted to secure him as Head Coach here at Watford," said the club's chief executive Scott Duxbury.
"We're thoroughly looking forward to working with such a highly-regarded coach, with the progress and development of the club always remaining the highest priority."
Sanchez Flores was sacked despite leading Watford to a 13th place finish in the Premier League and the semi-finals of the FA Cup in his only season in charge.
Mazzarri becomes Watford’s eighth head in coach in only four years.
