Heaton, who follows defender Ben Mee in signing an extension to his contract, had spells at Cardiff and Bristol City before joining Burnley in the summer of 2013.
Burnley have made a number of new signings, including striker Lukas Jutkiewicz, in preparation for their first season back in the top flight since 2009-10.
"We're certainly confident and we have got the same belief that we had last year," Heaton continued.
"The aim is to stay in the Premier League and then kick on from there."
