Aaron has put pen-to-paper on a new three-year deal, which will run until 2022, before a move on loan to the Seagulls to pursue his ambition of playing in the @premierleague.
"We are delighted to welcome Aaron to the club. He has played very well over the past two seasons in the Premier League, and will bring a different option and added competition to our midfield," Brighton manager Graham Potter told the club's official website.
"He's been a talisman for Huddersfield in recent seasons with his performances on the field; and he’s proved to be an excellent professional both on and off the pitch.
"I'm looking forward to working with him, and he is another good addition to our squad ahead of the new season."
Mooy played 90 minutes in Huddersfield’s opening game of the 2019/20 Championship season earlier this week where his side defeated Derby County 2-1.
Brighton begin their Premier League season away at Watford on Sunday at 12am AEST.
