Harris, whose credits also include Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest and The First Grader, will be the sixth actress to play the secretary of MI6 chief M.
Harris recently discussed her potential James Bond casting with Digital Spy, admitting that she thought Craig's portrayal of the iconic secret agent was "fantastic".
Watch Naomie Harris discuss Bond 23 below:
Ralph Fiennes and Javier Bardem will join returning cast members Craig and Judi Dench in director Sam Mendes's film, reports the Daily Mail.
The Moneypenny character has previously been portrayed by Lois Maxwell (opposite Sean Connery, George Lazenby and Roger Moore), Barbara Bouchet (in 1966 spoof Casino Royale), Pamela Salem (with Connery in unofficial outing Never Say Never Again), Caroline Bliss (Timothy Dalton's two outings) and Samantha Bond (Pierce Brosnan's instalments).
Moneypenny has enjoyed a flirtatious relationship with Ian Fleming's secret agent during the spy franchise's history, but she was absent from Craig's Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace.
