Australian news network NineMSN reports that Attorney General Nicola Roxon appointed New South Wales-based Mr Gleeson because of his expertise in public and constitutional law.
Mr Gleeson – who was admitted as a barrister in 1989 and made senior counsel in 2000 – will begin his new role on 15 October.
Meanwhile, current solicitor-general Stephen Gageler will succeed Justice William Gummow on the High Court later this month.
