McNamara, who turned 22 in December, has made seven appearances since being handed a long-awaited first-team debut for the Championship club last month.
He joined St Johnstone on loan last July and showed up well while playing 22 times for the Scottish Premiership outfit, prompting Millwall to exercise a January recall option on a deal that was due to last until the end of the season.
“I’m really happy,” he said of his new contract. “It’s something that has been in the pipeline for about a month now, so I’m buzzing to get it sorted. Being a Millwall boy – as are all my family – it means the world. Hopefully I’m doing them proud.”
McNamara, who also had a loan spell with Newport County in League Two last season, was capped during Ireland’s qualification campaign for this year’s U21 European Championships.
Although normally recognised as a right-back, he has been operating on the right side of midfield recently in Millwall’s 3-4-3 system.
