The Scottish giants have agreed a deal with the Clarets worth in excess of £3m.
The 20-year-old Northern Ireland striker had also been interesting Celtic, however Rangers are on the brink of making Lafferty their third striker signing of the summer, after securing deals for former Wolves striker Kenny Miller and Andrius Velicka.
They will pay an initial £3million, then a further £250,000 based on appearances.
Alan Gow, 25, will also move to Burnley as part of the deal.
The former Falkirk forward failed to make an impact at Rangers after joining last summer, and will discuss personal terms with Burnley.
Burnley manager Owen Coyle said: "We have received a very good offer from Rangers - a deal worth close to £4million when you include Alan (Gow), who has been offered to us in return as part of the package.
"Ultimately, from the fans' point of view, Kyle wanted to leave the club after saying he felt it was time to move on."
