Ballance appeared likely to leave the club earlier in the summer amid interest from several other counties including Middlesex, but has enjoyed a strong finish to the season and has agreed a three-year extension to his contract.
Martyn Moxon, Yorkshire's director of cricket, said: "I am delighted that both players have committed their futures to the club. Adil and Gary are very important players to the team and we look forward to them further contributing for years to come.
"Both players have been at Yorkshire for many years and have played in some of the most high-pressured matches in world cricket. Their experience and influence are hugely beneficial to the young squad that we are developing across all three competitions."
