The baby was born on 15 October weighing 8lb 9oz, a spokeswoman for Pippa and her husband James Matthews said.
"Everyone is delighted and mother and baby are doing well," she said.
A Kensington Palace spokesman said Prince William and Kate Middleton were "thrilled" for the couple.
Pippa's last major public outing was at the wedding of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank last week.
The arrival comes just a day after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle revealed they are expecting a baby.
Pippa announced her pregnancy in June in her fitness column for Waitrose Weekend magazine.
She told readers she had passed through the first trimester without experiencing the severe morning sickness her older sister had with her three pregnancies.
"I was lucky to pass the 12-week scan without suffering from morning sickness," she said.
"That meant I was able to carry on as normal and continue my sports."
In a recent column for the magazine she wrote: "As the final month nears and the bump grows prouder each day, movement is certainly getting more awkward.
"As a result, one of the biggest changes is that my lower body has tightened up."
Pippa and her husband James were married in May last year in a ceremony attended by royals and celebrities.
Prince Harry, Princess Eugenie, Roger Federer and his wife Mirka were among the guests.
