Yasin Ayari's 11th-minute goal, which followed a miscued clearance by City right-back Matheus Nunes, proved the difference at the Etihad.
City, who started the weekend top of the table, pressed hard for an equaliser but could not find a way through against a determined Brighton.
This loss came just a week after a 2-1 loss to Aston Villa ended City's perfect start to the league campaign.
