The 28-year-old left-back has followed Nathan Thompson and Ben Thompson, who also recently moved from Posh to the Lamex Stadium.
He had a year remaining on his contract at London Road. The length of his deal at Stevenage has not been disclosed.
"I'm excited to be here. There's a lot of good momentum at this club after getting promoted last season," he said.
"The stadium looks good, the training ground is amazing, so it was an easy decision."
Butler joined Peterborough from Newport County in 2019.
His career has also included spells at Portsmouth and Torquay United.

Stevenage have signed goalkeeper Krisztian Hegyi from Premier League club West Ham on a season-long loan.
The Hungary Under-21 international has been with the Hammers since 2019 but has yet to play for the first team.
The 20-year-old has, however, captained their U21 side and made six appearances for them in the EFL Trophy.
Hegyi will provide extra competition for Taye Ashby-Hammond who has joined Boro on a permanent deal from Fulham following last season's loan spell.
Stevenage start the 2022-23 season with a trip to Northampton, who were also promoted from League Two last term.

Stevenage have signed former Crystal Palace defender Reece Hannam.
The 22-year-old will move to the Lamex Stadium after a successful trial, subject to EFL and FA approval.
The left-back came through the ranks at West Ham before spending the last three seasons at Selhurst Park, winning the Under-23s player of the season.
He said: "I'm looking forward to getting started. I came in with something to prove, so I'm happy to get it done - I've got a lot to offer."
Hannam spent five months on loan at National League Bromley last season, appearing 17 times and scoring twice.
He made one appearance for Palace's under-21 side in the EFL Trophy against Sutton in October 2021, with another three EFL Trophy appearances in the previous two seasons while with West Ham's academy.

Stevenage boss Steve Evans has been given a two-match "extended touchline ban" after "failing to comply with the terms" of a previous touchline ban.
The 61-year-old Scot, who was sat in the stand, admitted breaching the terms of his touchline ban during his side's 3-1 defeat at his old club Peterborough United on 13 March.
The independent regulatory commission hearing also fined him £1,250.
The original ban was as a result of yellow cards received by Evans.
Evans must still serve the original Football Association ban, as per their compliance terms. He will serve the extended ban first and then the original ban will follow.
Evans should now spend both bank holiday weekend fixtures sat in the stand, starting with the Good Friday League One game with fellow promotion hopefuls Bolton Wanderers, followed by the Easter Monday trip to Charlton Athletic.
Stevenage go into the Easter games in seventh, just a point behind sixth-placed Oxford United.
Yellow and red cards for managers were introduced in English football for the 2018-19 season
