Watford 29-year-old striker Troy Deeney was sent off in the 33rd minute at Vicarage Road on Saturday for a late challenge on Terriers forward Collin Quaner from behind.
David Wagner's side were 2-0 up at the time of the dismissal and they went on to record a 4-1 sounding victory though both teams finished the game with 10 men after Jonathan Hogg received his marching orders on 61st minute for a second yellow card.
Deeney, who has already served a three-match ban earlier this season for violent conduct following an altercation with Stoke midfielder Joe Allen, contested the sending-off which was upheld by the Football Association on Tuesday,
Hornets head coach Marco Silva must do without his skipper for the games against Brighton, Swansea, Leicester and Manchester City.
The club confirmed the news on Twitter, saying: "#watfordfc has learned from The Football Association that its appeal lodged against Troy Deeney's red card on Saturday (Dec 16 v Huddersfield Town) has been unsuccessful.
"Troy will therefore serve a four-match ban covering the games Dec 23, Dec 26, Dec 30 & Jan 2."
