The new deal keeps the defensive midfielder at the club until 2022, the club announced on Valentine’s Day.
Partey, 23, after joining Atletico as a youth player in 2011, broke into coach Diego Simeone’s first team squad last season.
Following the announcement, Partey said: “I am very happy with my new contract and grateful for the faith shown in me.
“I have always been very fond of this club and I want to keep on developing at Atletico. I will give everything for this club.”
Partey, who has made 31 appearances for Atletico in total, was also a member of the Ghana squad that finished fourth at this year’s African Nations Cup.
