"There is an option to extend for a further year."
De Gea joined United from Atletico Madrid in 2011 and has made 367 appearances for the club.
"It has been a privilege to spend eight years at this great club and the opportunity to continue my career at Manchester United is a genuine honour," said the goalkeeper.
"Since I arrived here, I could never have imagined I would play over 350 games for this club. Now my future is fixed, all I want is to help this team achieve what I believe we can and win trophies again, together."
De Gea has won the Premier League, the FA Cup, the League Cup and the Europa League since arriving at Old Trafford.
Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said he was delighted the Spaniard had committed his long-term future to the club.
"Over recent years, David has proved himself to be the best in the world and a vital part of our plans as we look to take Manchester United back to where it belongs. David is a fantastic person and his outstanding quality provides the perfect base to our defence."
