The Egypt international has signed for the KC Stadium outfit until the end of the season, subject to a work permit, having already experienced life in the Barclays Premier League with the Latics last term.
He scored seven top-flight goals in 22 appearances last term and joins Hull from from Egyptian side Zamalek.
A statement on the club's official website read: "We are pleased to confirm the loan signing of Amr Zaki from Zamalek FC.
"The player yesterday signed a loan agreement until the end of the season to join Hull City AFC.
"As is the case with all non-EU transfers, there are work permit and other red tape issues still to be confirmed but we are expecting the player to return to England and join Hull City on Friday this week.
"The playing contracts are signed and confirmed, however the final details must be undertaken before the loan can commence.
"The player has missed the African Cup of Nations through injury but is now fit to recommence full training and should be available for selection for the home game against Wolverhampton Wanderers onwards.
"The club has paid a significant loan fee to bring Amr back to the UK but his goal-scoring record with Wigan Athletic last season would suggest that he will be a considerable asset in our fight to move up the Barclays Premier League."
