Swindon boss King has approched Latics about Mitchell after his right back Andy Gurney left for Swansea.
Mitchell said: "I got the call from my Manager at Wigan, Paul Jewell, on Wednesday night and he made me aware of Swindon's interest and it went from there."
"I spoke to [Swindon boss] Andy King and we agreed a deal. I came down Thursday afternoon and have trained today.
"With Wigan doing so well it has been difficult to break into the side and I am looking forward to playing first team football again.
"They have brought in some new players and I have been pushed out a little bit. I played a number of games when Wigan got promoted from the old Division Two and I am looking to do the same here."
