By Stefan Coerts
The former Olympique Marseille defender's previous contract was due to expire at the end of the season and Van Buyten was being linked with a move to Lazio in the past couple of weeks.
"We have a great team with a very good and smart coach. I'm very happy at Bayern and I'm absolutely delighted with this contract extension," said Van Buyten on the official Bayern website.
The 32-year-old defender joined Bayern from Hamburger SV in the summer of 2006 and has since made 88 Bundesliga appearances for FCB. He hasn't missed a single league match so far this term and has already scored five goals.
