The Brazilian was shown a straight red card for hitting Lucas Biglia in the head with a kung-fu style kick towards the end of Inter's 2-1 Serie A defeat to Lazio on Sunday.
Melo will miss the January trips to Empoli and Atalanta, as well as the home match against Sassuolo in between.
With defeat, Inter missed the chance to stretch their gap at the top of the table to four points.
