Dakota is an old flame of one of the show's regular male residents, but she hasn't quite recovered from their break-up.
Murphy said: "I just feel like I'm coming home again. To be able to work in Melbourne for such an iconic soap is a real dream come true. Melbourne is a fantastic city with great weather, people and restaurants, what more could you need?
"I'm really looking forward to taking in Melbourne's great coffee houses - they're amazing - and catching up with friends for a night out in St Kilda."
She continued: "I've been watching Neighbours since the very beginning so to grow up watching a show and to now be part of it is unbelievable. Neighbours is a huge part of the Australian culture just like our soaps in the UK."
Murphy stared in Emmerdale for six years until her character was killed off in 2004, following her decision to leave. She later joined the cast of Hollyoaks as Eva Strong - the long-lost mother of Anita Roy.
Murphy's first episodes as Dakota will be aired in October.
