The conservative leader, who is the darling of the Right-wing Tea Party movement, slammed Reverend Terry Jones' plans as 'counter-productive'.
She added that the plan was 'insensitive and an unnecessary provocation - much like building a mosque at Ground Zero.'
Addressing the pastor directly on her Facebook page last night, she said his plan would 'feed the fire of caustic rhetoric and appear as nothing more than mean-spirited religious intolerance.'
Don't feed that fire,' she urged him.
'If your ultimate point is to prove that the Christian teachings of mercy, justice, freedom, and equality provide the foundation on which our country stands, then your tactic to prove this point is totally counter-productive.'
'Book burning is antithetical to American ideals,' she wrote.
'People have a constitutional right to burn a Koran if they want to, but doing so is insensitive and an unnecessary provocation - much like building a mosque at Ground Zero.'
She finished by saying: 'We don't need to agree with each other on theological matters, but tolerating each other without unnecessarily provoking strife is how we ensure a civil society.
'In this as in all things, we should remember the Golden Rule. Isn't that what the Ground Zero mosque debate has been about?'
The Ground Zero mosque reference aside, Mrs Palin's words align her with the leaders of the Obama administration as Rev Jones achieved what no one else has managed so far: to unite the American Right and Left over one single issue.
She spoke as Pakistan's ambassador to the U.S. called on Mrs Palin's fellow conservative Glenn Beck to oppose the book burning.
'I think it would help if Mr Glenn Beck came out against it, and said that people of faith do not burn the books of people of other faith," Husain Haqqani told The Associated Press yesterday.
Mr Beck earlier this week stated burning the Koran is like burning the flag or the Bible - something people can do in the United States, but shouldn't.
'Our good Muslim friends and neighbors will be saddened,' he wrote in a blog posting. 'It makes the battle that they face inside their own communities even harder.'
But, despite two of the most powerful figures of the American right asking him not to go ahead with his plan - even aligning themselves with members of the Obama administration to do so - Rev Jones remained defiant.
He insisted he would go ahead with his plans, despite criticism from the top U.S. general in Afghanistan, the White House and the State Department, as well as a host of religious leaders including the Vatican which denounced the event as 'an outrageous and grave gesture against a book considered sacred by a religious community.'
Yesterday Rev Jones - who claims he has had 100 death threats - announced he would not back down in the face of military, political or moral pressure.
'As you can imagine we have come under very much pressure in the direction of cancelling the event,' said the minister, whose church has fewer than 100.
'But as of this time we have no intention of cancelling.
'We have also, which is something the news media has missed, received quite a lot of support.
'We understand General Petraeus's concern and we are still considering it.
'But as of now we are not convinced that backing down is the right thing to do.
'So we will continue with our planned event '
Rev Jones also met with Imam Muhammad Musri, president of the Islamic Society of Central Florida, who later told reporters he does not hold a grudge against the Gainesville pastor.
Rev Jones, 58, said in July he would stage an 'international Burn-a-Koran Day' at the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida.
But supporters have been posting copies of the Koran for him to put on a bonfire on Saturday to mark the ninth anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attacks and he is now in possession of 200 copies of the religious text.
Rev Jones refusal to back down comes after an American teacher working in Afghanistan warned Mr Jones that his life is in danger because of the stunt.
The unnamed lecturer wrote an impassioned email at the weekend describing 'boisterous protesters' condemning the pastor outside his classroom, according to the New York Times.
'Your actions endanger my life,' he wrote.
Mr Jones, who is known for posting signs proclaiming that Islam is the devil's religion, said the U.S. Constitution gives him the right to publicly set fire to the book that Muslims consider the word of God.
General David Petraeus warned that 'images of the burning of a Koran would undoubtedly be used by extremists in Afghanistan - and around the world - to inflame public opinion and incite violence'.
In a rare example of a military commander taking a position on a domestic political matter, Gen Petraeus said that the stunt would put troops' lives at risk.
An FBI intelligence report from last month warned that the Burn a Koran Day event could trigger repercussions for those taking part.
