Brighton boss Mark McGhee has been charged by the Football Association for comments made at Saturday's 1-0 defeat by Ipswich at Portman Road.
The Albion manager is charged with using abusive and/or insulting words to a match official.
He has until 14 December to respond to the charge.
Ipswich's Shefki Kuqi scored the only goal of the game, although the Seagulls had two penalty appeals turned down by referee Trevor Kettle.
