President Nasser Al-Khelaifi added: "We're very pleased to have extended Thiago's contract.
"Thiago Motta is an important member of the squad and his leadership and knowledge of the game are really appreciated by our supporters.
"He is certainly one of those to have contributed greatly to the growth of Paris Saint-Germain, both in France and internationally."
Motta has won four Ligue 1 titles, four Coupes de la Ligue, four Trophees des Champions and three Coupes de France since joining from Inter in 2012.
