Rodriguez came through the Clarets youth system and scored 41 goals in 129 first-team appearances before joining Southampton in a £6million deal in 2012.
He then spent five years with Saints and earned England recognition in 2013 but hopes of featuring at the World Cup the following year were dashed by a serious knee injury.
He moved to West Brom for £12million two years ago and scored 33 goals in 84 appearances for the Baggies, helping them reach the Championship play-offs last season.
His signing continues Burnley's summer business after the arrival of Dutch left-back Erik Pieters from Stoke.
