The Seagulls also have an option for an extra year on Caicedo, who has made a big impact at the Amex Stadium since making his Premier League debut last April.
Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi told the club website: “This is fantastic news for the club, our fans, for me and most importantly for Moises.
“It will make us stronger as we move forward towards our targets on the pitch.”
Caicedo joined Brighton from Ecuadorian club Independiente del Valle in February 2021.
The 21-year-old was the subject of two bids from Arsenal in the January transfer window, while Chelsea were also reportedly interested.
Caicedo told Brighton that he wished to leave in an open letter posted on social media, but he remained on the south coast and has now made 29 Premier League appearances for the Seagulls.
