The 30-year-old Andros Townsend joined Everton on a free transfer following the end of his contract at Crystal Palace and has signed a two-year deal with the Toffees.
Begovic, 34, has signed from Bournemouth on a 12-month contract with the option of a further year.
"Everything is in place for us to be successful," said Begovic, who will provide back-up to Jordan Pickford.
Andros Townsend's arrival at Goodison Park sees him reunited with new Everton manager Rafael Benitez, with whom he worked at Newcastle United.
"Everton is a massive club," he told evertontv. "I want to prove I'm good enough to be an important player here."
Andros Townsend, capped 13 times by his country, started his career in Tottenham Hotspur's academy, spending seven years at White Hart Lane before moving to Newcastle in January 2016.
The winger spent just half a season in the northeast of England before joining Palace after Newcastle were relegated to the Championship and spent five years at the Eagles.
"My strengths are that I can cross a ball with my left or right foot, get balls into the box," said Townsend.
