Sergio Ramos gave Real a deserved 22nd-minute lead with a fine overhead kick but Ciro Immobile equalised on 36 minutes with his first goal for Sevilla.
Ever Banega then put the hosts ahead in the 61st minute before substitute Fernando Llorente headed in a third on 74.
James Rodriguez scored a consolation with the last kick of the match, but defeat means Real are three points behind La Liga leaders Barcelona heading into El Clasico on November 21.
It looked as though Rafa Benitez's side would match Barca's 3-0 victory over Villarreal earlier in the day as they made a bright start at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.
Nacho struck the post in the 10th minute with a well-struck half volley while Gareth Bale, back in the starting line-up after injury, looked threatening in a central role.
The visitors deservedly went ahead midway through the half when Ramos scored with a brilliant overhead kick from a corner.
Unfortunately for the defender he injured his shoulder in the process and had to be replaced not long afterwards by Raphael Varane.
