Johnston spent the second half of last season on loan at Wigan from Dutch side Feyenoord featuring in 22 games for the Latics in Sky Bet League One.
The 22-year-old came through Liverpool’s academy before moving to Feyenoord in 2019 for £500,000.
“It feels great to have made the move,” the Scotland Under-21 international told Bolton’s website.
“Being part of a massive club who are on the rise was something I was desperate to be involved with. One of the reasons why I came here was to help the club get back to where it belongs.”
Wanderers manager Ian Evatt praised Johnston’s willingness to play abroad at an early age, adding: “He’s a very talented player for the future and we are delighted to have signed him.”
