Tiote has been handed the new long-term contract as a reward for his fine form since arriving at the club in the summer from FC Twente.
The Ivory Coast international has established himself as a key player at Newcastle and he has inked a new deal to keep him on Tyneside until 2017.
Tiote, who scored his first goal for the club in the amazing 4-4 draw with Arsenal earlier this month, paid tribute to the fans after putting pen to paper.
"I am very happy today to have signed this new deal with Newcastle United," Tiote told the club's official website.
"The experience of playing in the Premier League has been better than I ever hoped it could be.
"This is a great club and the fans have been brilliant - I have never known support like it."
