The Spanish duo - who will also participate in the singles competition - will team up for the tournament at Roland-Garros, which begins on July 27.
Both players have fond memories of the venue with Nadal a record 14-time French Open champion, while Alcaraz landed his maiden clay-court major crown last weekend.
Nadal is expected to call time on his glittering career this year.
A gold medallist in 2008 (singles) and 2016 (doubles), the 22-time major winner?is unlikely to appear at Wimbledon and will instead focus on the Olympics where, if fit, he had hoped to partner Alcaraz.
Spain's national team coach confirmed he had got his wish, saying:?"One pair, which I think everyone knows and was hoping for, is Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal.?Rafa and Carlos will be playing together in Paris."
Alcaraz, who will make his debut at the Games,?became the youngest?player in the Open Era to win the singles title at three different grand slams when he triumphed over Alexander Zverev at Roland-Garros?on Sunday.
